That's what I was thinking about, regarding the recent
discussion of giga-byte-sized repositories. I think, BT can
transfer whole directories as one "entity", so if monotone
could export patches in way that each patch is stored in a
file associated to its SHA1 hash, then this all would
probably. This system would scale very well with large
patches. It would make monotone as distributed as it can
possibly get -- the killer application for SourceForge.
