* monotone changes by Brian May:

  - On commits, replace "mtn sync" bidirectional with "mtn push" single
    direction. No need to pull changes when doing a commit. mtn sync
    is still called in rcs_update.
  - Support for viewing differences via patches using viewmtn.

 The module is available from the monotone source repository at:

 Monotone support works, but there are still a few minor missing bits (listed here so they are not forgotten):
 
-* At the moment there are no links to display diffs between revisions.  It shouldn't be hard to add links to a [ViewMTN](http://grahame.angrygoats.net/moinmoin/ViewMTN) instance, but it hasn't been done yet.
+* The [[post-commit]] hook support is not yet completly implemented.
 * Documentation (this page) could be improved.
 
-There is also a mismatch between the way Ikiwiki handles conflicts and the way Monotone handles conflicts.  At present, if there is a conflict, then Ikiwiki will commit a revision with conflict markers before presenting it to the user.  This is ugly, but there is no clean way to fix it at present.
