I've been thinking a lot about the issue lately, and this is what I came up with:
Bookkeeping directory should be something visible. I really want to see it when I stand in the root of a monotone-controled directory tree. And then, there's the platform issue that I've already discussed. Other than that, I don't really care what the name will be, _MM, MM, _MTN, MTN, _MT, MT, ... For the configuration directory, it's a bit of a different matter. There is already a lot of tradition in there, and I see no point in breaking that too much. That means it will differ between platforms. But either way, I would prefer that to have the full name ("monotone") in it, to make it distinct from the bookkeeping directories if for no other reason. So on Unix, I'd like to keep it as it is, ~/.monotone. I think someone else has already said their piece on Windows about that. For the day when I finally get to start a VMS port, I'll have to think of the right way to do it there (could be a combination of logical names that point at the place to find things, a text file for the lua hooks and an indexed file to store keys in, for example).
