I'm not sure I agree.  I running into this issue myself right now
(essentially trying to replicate CVS's module facility).  I can use
a script to check out subcomponents that are on individual branches.
The problem I have now is how to "tag" all branches so as to have a
true atomic commit.  That would allow me to return to an older
version of the entire project made up of multiple branches.

Any ideas on the right pattern to use in Monotone?
