yeah, I've got a partial vc-mtn.el that searches up parent
directories for _MTN.

(defun vc-mtn-responsible-p (file)
  (and (file-directory-p "~/.monotone")
       (vc-mtn--workspace file)))

vc-mtn--workspace caches the answer for each dir it looks at, so
it's usually pretty quick.  no cache invalidation strategy yet,
and there are many vc integration things missing, so it's not
generally usable yet.  (it's been months since I looked at the
code last, don't think I'll be able to continue working on it
anytime soon.)
