Oooooh, that was an unexpected coolness factor, to combine pulls from
several servers into one database :-). I'm now pulling both from
graydon's server and from yours.
I like monotone more and more.

OK, I got the impression that when I do a 'monotone update' in another
working directory, it would change to the new branch if it sees that
cert associated with the head manifest. Sounds silly, now that I
think of it, especially if a manifest can be part of several branches
at once, so I probably made a mistake in my experiments...
