One thing that Monotone doesn't do to which we are used to, is

the long time to get an initial pull.
Monotone will never support such templating because it relies on SHA
hashing to track the repo history, so changing the repo before the
hashing would mean that monotone would have to track pre- and post-
templated files.
Um, subversion supports keywords like this and also has
checksumming. It just means that you have to 'compress' the tags as
part of the commit process. $Id: random ID here$ is always stored as
$Id:$ in the repository. It is expanded again on checkout. This not
only helps with checksumming, but also makes sure that there are no
spurious changes between revisions.
Of course, you want to keep this optional and disabled by default.
Subversion uses attributes to turn on specific keywords for specific
files.
Am I misunderstanding something?
Will :-}
