Considering the stubornness of some people in the GNOME project (as I
understand it from the message you point at), monotone would probably
not go at all, primarly because there's no 'blame'/'annotate' and
secondly because there's absolutely no support for committing single
files unless you want to make the effort to commit between every
changed file, which I think would be really stupid, at the very least.

However, it may be that monotone's off-line features are cool enough
for people to get their act together to change their habits.  It
certainly did for me.

Cheers,
Richard
