Note that Monotone can theoretically do this too (actually, without
even using CGI), with the python library sitting in
net.venge.monotone.dumb.  It needs some love -- a usable command-line
front-end, support for more protocols, etc. -- but this is a small
matter of python programming.  Just want to make sure people are
aware... ;-)
