Hi,
I goofed in sending this email earlier - somehow it came through on the
list with only the first two of the following paragraphs (or at least I
hope it was my mistake and not that the mail-list software is curtailing
it because it is too long).
---------------
I'm not only new to Monotone but also new to version control systems. But
after reading some reviews of various VCS, Monotone stood out to me as
being the most interesting. In fact, it prompted me to think of other
uses for it besides version control, and I hope you wouldn't mind
answering some questions about these things.
I would like to use Monotone to replicate data to a series of distant
offices which have slow internet connections. The data they need is
read-only. I know that I could use FTP or something like Coda/Intermezzo
to bring their data to them. However, what I would prefer is to just have
a single depot that I update, and then have periodic cron jobs running in
the local offices to bring the data to them. I think that Monotone might
turn out to better than these alternatives.
