If you only have one private key, monotone will choose it (I think, I
haven't tested that for a while).
If _MTN/options has a key identity in it, monotone will choose that.
Otherwise, you specify a key identity once, and its identity will be
saved in _MTN/options.

Look in _MTN/options.

ulf> - Why is "automate get_option" not described in the manual?

Because someone was sloppy or forgetful?

ulf> - Why does "automate get_option key" return an empty string?

Because you never needed to specify a key.

ulf> - How can I add a directory non-recursively?

I'm not sure you can.  If you want to add specific files in a
directory, just add them, the directory itself will be added
automagically if needed.

You hack your own edit_comment function in _MTN/monotonerc (works only
with that workspace) or ~/.monotone/monotonerc (works for everything
you do).

Cheers,
