I view myself as a experienced monotone novice -- I've been reading the 
mailing list and commenting for a while, and have used monotone a bit 
back around version 0.20 or so, but I have little experience with its 
actual use.  When I see a discrepancy like this I don't know whether the 
manual or the system are wrong unless I ask.

So I ask, and in so doing there will at least be a record of things I 
found confusing, that others might too.

If I should end up with changes to the manual, how should I go about 
submitting them?  pull the monotone data base and push the changes back?  
mail them to this list?
