agreed. <devils advocate>This would create some broad incentive to learn

For most people a public server is simply too much monthly cost and 
maintenance work to take this step. Having web access/email is 
commonplace. And even my sourceforge/berlios accounts do not help me here.

Here it is:

Some questions:
- is it possible to look into a public/private key packet and get some 
information? Which tool to use (to me this looks like a binary blob)?

- I want to mark a head as no longer valid (my use system-wide lua 
changes) - monotone disapprove?

- is there any more elegant way to switch to a different head on a 
branch than "monotone cat manifest 6dcb42a9 > MT/manifest ; monotone 
revert"?

perhaps an optional id for revert might be a good idea.
