If not, you can specify an external merge tools. Or use a front-end that supports other merge tools. If there isn't a merge tool for your file format, then that's a problem. The typical solution to not being able to merge files is to forbid parallel editing. The OP did mention "locking", which is one technique to enforce a "no parallel editing" policy. monotone does _not_ support locking. locking requires a central repository, at least for the locks; monotone is specifically designed to _not_ require a central repository. Other CM systems, that are _not_ distributed, do support locking. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
