People under time pressure do not always think that way. My post is
about the difference between common practice and best practice, and
how to bridge between them.
If you really need to "split" a revision you can always make a
checkout of the revision you want to split then revert all but 1 of
the changes and check this in. Then repeat for all of the different
things you want to split. Of course you'd need to merge these again.
I agree, but it would be useful if monotone could help a bit here. I
have seen quite frequently the scenario where, in a product release,
under a lot of time pressure, a coder solves say 5 bugs and 5 issues,
next does a commit. Allowing and helping to split this up in 10
different changesets that can be applied where appropriate, does make
a lot of sense to me and I think it would be nice if monotone supports
such a workflow.
