True. In fact, I'd rather sync with a new local database than hack $CVSROOT. Never again.
I guess my "eek" really translates to: "Where is this written down"?
Which is why I've just started a new thread to talk about best practice. If there are some docs somewhere, I want to read them. If I'm the only one that thinks there needs to be something like that, fair enough (I think...). OTOH if I can help Monotone by asking stupid questions and then writing about it, brilliant.

Why is that so bad? syncing databases is a normal part of working
with monotone.

OK, with CVS you can probably get away with removing things from the
repository. I'm not entirely sure---maybe CVSROOT/history has stuff,
and you'd might want to edit CVSROOT/modules.
How would you do this with subversion? Surely you need to do svnadmin
dump, then filter, then svnadmin load into a new repository? That's
*much* more of a problem than using sync in monotone to a new
database, isn't it?
