Thanks for all your answers! Yes, I too think that it is an advantage of 
having this integrated into Monotone. I'm not sure whether it's one of 
Monotone's goals (it was one of OpenCM), but if you want replication 
across multiple (possibly heterogenous) hosts, it has to be integrated, 
otherwise it's becoming an administrative nightmare.
