Certainly "funny" and counter-intuitive for mtn users (me included).
OTOH that's what Hg does, AFAIK, and probably also Arch & friends?
For CVS & SVN people just thinking that the "book keeping" directory
contains "the real stuff" is plain crazy: they know only the server
contains it.

IMHO a better default would be ~/.monotone/branch-name.mtn... or at the
very least; that's what I usually use. ^_^
(usually restricting to "first 2 component of branch name", e.g.
net.venge.mtn for mtn, it.lapo.mtn for personal projects...)

Small poll: what database file does other people use?
