How many devs are actively working on mtn? It seems people should become burnt with Git before looking for alternatives.

Maybe I should try to install some repo on my WF account and check it out.

Now I need to learn more about mtn and then I'll put guitone to some more serious testing providing you with (hopefully) some valauble feedback. Thanks a lot for your input.
