If you only have one key it uses that. There's also a get_branch_key
hook that should at least work for commits. (it probably won't work for
netsync, and I don't know about adding certs to revs that already exist)

I don't know that you can at the moment.

I don't know. It should be; this is a bug.

If you give '--key=foo' it returns 'foo'. I'm assuming that all it does
is say what options were given on the command line, but I haven't
actually checked the code.

...why doesn't add take --depth? Anyway, aside from changing that, you
can probably just add the directory and then drop all its children.

Probably by giving it an edit_comment hook that just returns false/nil
(don't remember which). This could go in _MTN/monotonerc, or in some
other file that you specify with --rcfile if you want your users to be
able to run monotone operations on their workspace manually and get
"normal" behavior.
