Isn't the "constant whining" (at the very least on each commit and
update) of monotone encouraging enough to try a merge?
Forcing people to merge-before-sync reminds me the ugly
update-before-commit of CVS times =(
(the difference being they could work locally unmerged as long as they
want, until they manage to merge it all up - but also has the
asymmetricity of "first sync'er wins" just like in CVS "first committer
wins")
