I'd say we may well be proud of monotone in that regard, isn't it so?

I'm thinking to comment like this, please correct/expand it if you will =)

PS: there's the EuroBSDCon in progress! I'll try and talk about MTN this
evening at the dinner and tomorrow at the convention itself ;-)

-----------

Monotone authors are quite paranoid regarding correctness of the
storage, and never in the (recent?) past a bug managed to actually
delete important information. When in the (far?) past users had a
database form some reason unusable (at the very least, there's disk
corruption) they went so far as releasing a specific version for the
recovery of that specific database.
The database itself is SQLite, so everyone can easily see its content
and be assured about its soundness.
