That seems not unrelated to
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.monotone.devel/5660>.

(Which doesn't seem surprising: there are a few problems that seem
almost solvable with what monotone's already got, so it's natural to
look at smallish changes that might smooth some of the rough edges,
and such changes are likely to overlap quite a bit.)
