What's origin - the last server you connected, or the default one?

It should be possible to track a list of head revisions per server (or
the default one, etc.) after each pull or sync, and use "automate
ancestry_difference" to calculate that.
I'd write a wrapper-script for that (as proof of concept, at least), if
we get sorted out, what to check against.

what's the complaint here - speed? features?

Again, I could write a wrapper script for that (though an inline
variant would be more efficient, avoiding the second "ls branches",
by looking at the incoming packets): ls branches, pull, ls branches,
diff

(I only offer to do wrappers because I don't know the monotone code
base enough for a full integration, and I don't have time currently to
figure it out.)

These two (at least) change history. Monotone has immutable history,
which is a feature.
(amend-commit as a shortcut to kill_rev_locally, then commit could work)

As for the other "forced to a work flow" issues, I don't know what the
git commands provide (and I fear that I won't get a 100% idea from
reading the docs)
