[Monotone-devel] setup creates _MTN/mtn.db

[Stephen Leake]

A recent change lets setup init a new database _MTN/mtn.db if none is given.

First, this needs to be documented in the manual; both that setup will
init the database if it is not already, and that it provides a default
name.

Second, what is the rationale, both for providing any default name, and
choosing this particular name?

I can see that proving a default db name it makes it easy to start a
totally new project. But it's a significant change, and I'm not happy
with the path.

I'm ok with initializing the database if needed.

Once the project grows a branch that they want to checkout into a
different directory, having the database in <branch_1>/_MTN/mtn.db will
be very odd and confusing; people will wonder if there should be one db
per branch, or one db per workspace.

I think ~/.monotone/mtn.db would be a better place for the default
database.
