Wow.  This is so much a lot of work for something that the database
system should be doing on its own!

I wonder how difficult it would be to make Monotone able to talk to
Postgres and SQLite.  That way, one could have heavily used servers
backed by Postgres, and make them able to handle concurrent requests
without unnecesary locking; and use SQLite for databases that are only
going to be used for local work, to maintain the current convenience of
"portable" (single-file) databases.
