Hi,

I've got a similar problem. I use monotone to version java software, 
with a lot of different projects, which often refer to each other. When 
I edit code in eclipse, it's easy to make changes that touch multiple 
projects, for example, when I rename a class in a basic project, all 
projects that depend on that class are updated.

Since I often ended up forgetting (or even not noticing) which projects 
were changed, I wrote a tiny script that looks for all monotone projects 
in my home and does an operation on them. E.g. mtn-all status would 
perform (something like) a status on all projects.

It works quite well, but it's a little slow on my laptop which has a 
rather slow hd (on my main machine it takes about 10s for 45 projects 
containing 27000 files and directories).

I am quite happy with it being a separate script and I don't think this 
necessarily needs to end up in monotone proper.

Cheers,

-- Ulf
