I'm not arguing against that.  I've done that very thing myself.

True.  That still translate to "most of the OSS world", which is what
I really meant...  My mistake.

Also, I'm not really arguing that monotone should have an import
command.  I'm arguing that IF monotone is to have an import command,
THEN it should have a behavior of repeatable importer (and that's
among the few things I like with CVS, so that's where I'm modeling
it).  Since monotone currently doesn't have an import command, I'm
perfectly satisfied (heh :-)) with contrib/monotone-import.pl.

vendor tag = branch
release tag = tag

As you said, no rocket science.

Cheers,
