[Monotone-devel] Some Newbie Questions

[bdmon]

Hi,

I goofed in sending this email earlier - somehow it came through on the 
list with only the first two of the following paragraphs (or at least I 
hope it was my mistake and not that the mail-list software is curtailing 
it because it is too long).

I'm not only new to Monotone but also new to version control systems.  But 
after reading some reviews of various VCS, Monotone stood out to me as 
being the most interesting.  In fact, it prompted me to think of other 
uses for it besides version control, and I hope you wouldn't mind 
answering some questions about these things.

I would like to use Monotone to replicate data to a series of distant 
offices which have slow internet connections.  The data they need is 
read-only.  I know that I could use FTP or something like Coda/Intermezzo 
to bring their data to them.  However, what I would prefer is to just have 
a single depot that I update, and then have periodic cron jobs running in 
the local offices to bring the data to them.  I think that Monotone might 
turn out to better than these alternatives.
