Limitations of Monotone

This page lists limitations of monotone which will affect Pidgin developers, as well as known workarounds and upstream status. It is not intended to be a monotone bug tracker, but rather a place to gather high-priority problems which we might want to either work on in monotone or bring to the attention of the regular monotone developers.

  • No workspace merge - The inability to perform logical fixups at merge-time (only conflict fixups) introduces a glitch into our traditional "Pidgin should always compile" philosophy. While we recognize that a DVCS may require some workflow changes, this isn't one we're ready to give up on, yet.
  • annotate and log <file> speed - Particularly while we are validating the svn import, these are noticable limitations. Work is underway upstream to mitigate these, in the form of "heights". See RevisionNumbering for some details; one of those heights proposals has been accepted, and a faster log <file> will be in the 0.32 release. annotate remains in a branch.
  • Partial Pull - Complete (initial) pulls of Gaim are ~1h on a fast connection. This is too long to expect any casual developer to invest.
