Hi Jimmie,

Monticello:
- MC automatically creates a new "branch" if you commit unmerged changes
- Branches are not clearly visible in the GUI, though clearly present in the 
model

What git does:
- unmerged changes get rejected (unless forced) [svn did the same here]
- clear notion of branches and versions (not based on the name of the commit)

I could list some more shortcomings of MC, though as above they key issue is 
not the MC model but rather the GUI built around it :)


best
