I have to admit that I never heard of this feature, I just learned about it by querying Wikipedia [0]. As far as I've read it is possible to have two-fork files on os9 (data and resource fork) and even multi-fork files on OSX. Now the interesting questions are: 1) Is the data fork always the file's content and can therefor be read out just as "normal"? 2) Are there command line utilities available which can read out/write multi-fork files? If the answer to both is yes, one could probably hack something together which sets the resource fork of a file as attribute file on checkin and on update/checkout reconstructs the file the other way around. The neccessary hooks for monotone are documented here [1] under 6.1.10. Thomas.
