Disclaimer: I have write access to monotone.ca.
I have been using monotone since I found out about it during the
linux kernel bitkeeper fiasco.
Pros:
- I never lost data (important!)
- Totally distributed, each branch can have multiple heads
- Every commit is signed by a RSA key
- I like the repository-as-single-file thing
- Customisation by Lua hooks is very cool
Cons:
- Does not serve through HTTP, must use own protocol or via SSH tunnel
- Some operations are still slow (initial pull, annotate), but
getting faster with each release
Cheers,
