Fixed in 5f00cba58b8c3feb72d6de28e94610a42e30465b. This has been bugging me
for a while too so thanks for the motivation Jack.

Editing _MTN/options in emacs is all but impossible because emacs checks the
mtime on the buffer and it's almost always modified, I assume the old school
emacs VC integration is calling status frequently although I haven't
confirmed this.

Now all I need is for gentoo to update their monotone package so I can get
my various machines updated...

Cheers,
Derek
