- ease of setting up a netsync server
- I can write bots to apply test-result certs, and use monotone-viz to look at
the status of the tree over time
- the database is a single file that can easily be shared with multiple
workspaces
- clean conceptual model: certs, attributes
- a tag doesn't create a new revision
- monotone will find bad drive controllers
- supports strong partitioning of projects (via merge_into_dir)
- simple to automate with
the list goes on. I've got ~1100 branches with ~100k revisions, ~780k of files,
with 20GiB of databases spread out over 2 clusters of 3 machines each.
