There really ought to be wili page about this kind of thing -- all the reasons why sync might fail, how to detect them, and what to do about them. I'm convinced I've done somethign stupid, and a check-list would help.
I have a monotone database, misc.db, in two incarnations on different systems. One branch, com.pooq.hendrik.cash.C, has different heads on the two systems. Yet when I sync, using the ssh protocol, it reports success with nothing useful being transferred -- I still have the same two different heads on the same machines.
