I know I'm a brand new Monotone user, and I hate writing me-too emails, but I also greatly prefer the template Francis suggested. It still makes it clear what's editable, but I don't sit there, scratching my head, wondering why my commit aborted due to a blank message when I know damn well I typed a message. (This really was my very first experience with committing in Monotone. It wasn't the best.) This seems like a really nice blend of making it brain-dead easy, but still making it clear what's editable. --Benjamin _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
