Except suggesting "s/bookkeeping/data/" none of these choices "offends" me.
I like the idea of a "trailing something" to avoid having the directory
in the middle of other files (such as in CVS).
I like Larry's idea of +MTN particularly.
It probably doesn't work under DOS, but who cares ;-)
In order of preference:
+MTN
_MTN
.MTN-data (with configuration in .mtn o .monotone, with a slight
preference for the latter)
.MTN (tough I can't find a good name for the configuration dir, .mtn
doesn't cope well with .monotone in the same directory)
About the idea of "-workspace": is it the workspace directory? I tought
it was the "metadata directory", and that the actual "workspace" was the
parent directory.
About changing now or later, I'd suggest changing now: 0.26 already
"breaks the UI" (requiring a flag day and all the such), and doing that
in two version in a row would seem unnecessarily bad.
