A 'close' command for the 'automate stdio' interface would imho be *much* 
cleaner and more portable.

BTW, how do I distinguish between transient and non-transient errors (e.g. 
database is locked)? Can I use the return codes of the automate stdio 
commands for that purpose, or do I have to parse the error message?

Additionally, sending the same command twice yields different error messages 
sometimes, e.g.
$ echo -n 'l6:leavesel6:leavese' | mtn automate stdio
0:2:l:39:error: sqlite error: database is locked1:2:l:64:error: wanted 1 
columns got 0 in query: SELECT id FROM revisions
Why is that?
