[Monotone-devel] Re: figuring out what a sync will do

[William Uther]

Hi all,

  This is related to Evan's comments, but slightly different.  Every  
time I sync with venge.net I have an (irrational?) urge to check  
exactly what revs it will send.  I say this might be irrational  
because I am somewhat careful what I commit... but I still want to  
check if it has been a while between the commit and the sync.

  Is there any way to do this?

  This is related to another feature request I brought up a while  
ago.  I was looking at setting up a "serverless" mtn.  i.e. don't  
have a specific mtn server, but rather use existing infrastructure.   
e.g. use the "dumb" branch for publishing data using an existing web  
server, and use email and "mtn read" for receiving data.  The missing  
link is a command like:

mtn pushfile server file

pushfile would be run by someone wanting to push to the dumb server.   
It would connect and figure out what it the differences were, but  
instead of sending any packets to the server, it would write them to  
the file.  The file can then be emailed and read in with "mtn read"  
on the server.

Be well,

Will             :-}
