3) Is there any way to determine the cvs revision number from monotone after the import? E.g. I'm looking at something in monotone, and I need to refer back to the change in my archived cvs repo, just to sanity check it. It would be nice if cvs-import added some kind of info cert specifying the cvs revision number, since it is available at cvs-import time.
There has been some work done in this direction, which has not found its way into mainline yet. Generally its done by file attributes rather than revision certs, since in CVS each file can have a different revision number and there are no changeset identifiers per sé (in CVSNT there are commitids, but this is a different story).
4) We're used to using bonsai and viewvc. I don't believe that either of these could be made to work with mtn because I believe they both require a dotted-style revision number. So, I've been looking at viewmtn, and I don't see an easy way to do some of the things that we did in bonsai/viewvc. For instance, I'd often find myself using bonsai to see who committed changes in the last few hours (on any branch), I don't see a way to do that. The Selector syntax in the command line tool seems pretty powerful, but I don't see a way to do that with viewmtn.
You may also consider TracMtn, a Trac plugin for monotone, which has a nice timeline view (http://tracmtn.thomaskeller.biz/trac/timeline) - obviously this could need some improvements (i.e. the display what branch has been affected by a changeset), but TracMtn is already my favorite in terms of speed and usability.
