Huh, i was used to alias monotone to "mt"… wth is this old mt command?

I was pleased to find that 'm' and 't' keys were perfectly aside on a
dvorak keymap, but quite surprisingly I just noticed that 'n' is the
natural next one on the way. So "mtn" is kinda suitable too ;)

Anyway, a standard abbrev would be a good thing.

Also, I think I would prefer a ".mtn/" named bookkeeping directory. That
is, the dot-prefixed lowercase chosen abbrev, which could be ".mt/",
".m/" (actually, I like pretty much this one also) or whatever is chosen.
Was this discussed already ?

Just my modest brain dump on monotone look-and-feel…
Apologies ;)
Stéphane.
