Subversion does not support merge history, so wouldn't I loose the
merge history in that case ?

I currently use keyword expansion in configure.in to synchronize the
version identifier in the binary with the version identifier of the
version control system.  No manual interaction necessary, so no
mistakes possible.  This is what I have in my source file :

dnl $Format: "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(neurospacesread,$ProjectVersion$)" $

and the next line gets replaced with the macro call

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(neurospacesread,0.652)

The version identifier propagates to config.h and to the sources and
binaries.  The way I set things up, prcs enforces consistency between
the repository identifiers and the identifiers in the releases that I
build.  Can I do something alike with monotone ?
