     Disclaimer: I have write access to monotone.ca.

     I have been using monotone since I found out about it during the
linux kernel bitkeeper fiasco.

Pros:
     - I never lost data (important!)
     - Totally distributed, each branch can have multiple heads
     - Every commit is signed by a RSA key
     - I like the repository-as-single-file thing
     - Customisation by Lua hooks is very cool

Cons:
     - Does not serve through HTTP, must use own protocol or via SSH tunnel
     - Some operations are still slow (initial pull, annotate), but
getting faster with each release

Cheers,
