Its name. 8-)

Suppose you have a directory called FOO, rename it in one branch to
BAR (with monotone, this means to move all files in it to BAR), and
keep another branch which still has the FOO directory.  Now you add a
file called FOO/baz to the second branch.  If you merge it into the
first, it shows up as FOO/baz, not BAR/baz, which makes more sense in
many cases.

So the answer is no, monotone does not support directory versioning.
