Yeah, this looks cool and is very much what I wanted; I'm not sure about
the UI though, as "server status URL" means "get me the status for
server at URL", while "server reset URL" doesn't mean "reset the server
at URL".  To me a command like
  monotone db reset <URL>
would make more sense, as this is where the change actually takes place.
("monotone db forget <URL>" would be another possibility). Might be a
personal preference thing though.
I hope I'll find the time to test some of these ideas myself once I
finished my diploma work.  

Regards, Johannes
