I like xxdiff, I use it more often than emacs actually, for merging.

yup, that's high on my list. I have a native windows compiler and
windows XP here but not an optimizing compiler. just the "cheapo"
version (I bought it all legit-like). do you have the "serious" one?

not quite so high since I don't have a mac. it's not practical for me
to do this port atm. if someone wants to, of course, I'll hand-hold as
much as possible.

soon. this is part of the "restrictions" feature, one of the next
major "surgery" tasks.

*shrug* ok.

done, http://www.venge.net/monotone/docs/Hash-Integrity.html

not sure if I want to solve this concurrently with UTF-8 or 
separately. should happen soon though.

hm. not as high on my list as vc-monotone.el, but if you want to I
don't stop you :)

all pretty easy, single-sitting fixes

> - simple gui

hm. could be big, could be small. I'd like to look into it some day,
but there's lots to do before then.

> Can I be CVS-free by early next year?

maybe in your own work, if you're being really optimistic :)
but .. y'know, CVS is used a lot of places. don't erase it yet.
