I'm wondering about that one.  I've noticed that the Debian release (I
download the source for 0.31-8 just to see what was changed) removes
that macro.

There is such a branch, it's called richard.levitte.org:compilations.monotone
and is only found (as far as I know) on guardian.lp.se (a.k.a.
monotone.ca, among others).  And no, it doesn't make sense to put such
changes in that branch, it's much better to put that in n.v.m, as
that's the basis for the Debian releases, among others.  My snapshots
are a bit special, as mentioned in the description:

 This package is built from a combination of the following monotone
 branches:
 .
   net.venge.monotone                 - the main development branch
   net.venge.monotone.debian          - additional debian control files
   net.venge.monotone.levitte.select-heads-off
                                      - additional H: selector

Actually, the .debian branch isn't needed any more, so I'll probably
remove that next time I remember ;-).

I'd like to know as well.
