'mtn log' and 'mtn annotate' are unusable for me since a dual opteron 244 is 
just too slow
to  handle a repo with 8k revs (and ~800 merges). To get around that I have a 
newsreader
subscriber to an rss feed that aggregated the viewmtn rss feeds, which allows 
me to search
in commit messages in realtime (Newsfire has search-as-you-type). Nathaniel 
built me mtn
from mainline last week that sped up log, which means that starting from 0.30 
'mtn log'
will be useable for large-ish projects.
I still think monotone is the best open-source VCS/SCM around, but I am a bit 
dissapointed
at 'history digging' tools and their performance. And more recently in 'mtn 
add' and 'mtn
diff' being broken by the IMO bogus restriction code. So I'm wondering, is 
there a plan to
fix bugs like this, or is the plan to keep adding more features like policy 
branches and
do a bug-sprint after that?

regards,

Koen
