I don't know anything about the Netsync protocol. However I agree with you  
that the concept of a project is missing in monotone. When you read the  
documentation at http://monotone.ca/monotone.html you expect a chapter  
"1.8 Projects" which doesn't exist though. Maybe you don't expect it when  
you read the documentation - but you start to miss it when you store  
several projects in a database and have to threaten every user to block  
their access if they start to jump around between branches. :) The  
"branch=project" concept doesn't work well and was probably never meant to  
work. I would welcome any attempt to introduce a project concept to  
monotone and I do think this is an important topic. (I don't know if  
another cert with the name "project" could solve this problem rather  
easily as it wouldn't require to introduce something brand new?)
