The downside is reliance on an external tool, which would most likely

It's easily solved. Monotone could just redistribute the appropriate
GnuWin32 tools:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
GnuWin32 is a collection of /native/ Win32 ports of GNU tools. The
tools don't need Cygwin, and they don't stick their head in the sand and
pretend drive letters don't exist.
Just be sure to rename the tools, say by adding "mtn-" to the front of
the program names, so they don't collide with anyone else's stuff on the
path.
