I view myself as a experienced monotone novice -- I've been reading the
mailing list and commenting for a while, and have used monotone a bit
back around version 0.20 or so, but I have little experience with its
actual use. When I see a discrepancy like this I don't know whether the
manual or the system are wrong unless I ask.
So I ask, and in so doing there will at least be a record of things I
found confusing, that others might too.
If I should end up with changes to the manual, how should I go about
submitting them? pull the monotone data base and push the changes back?
mail them to this list?
