+1 for commitdiff from here. It's very good idea.

I think the the best would be to monotone bagan understand diff
that it produces.

mtn diff already says everything (although in non-official way).

In that case it would possible to:

mtn diff > patch1.diff
vi patch1.diff
mtn commitdiff patch1.diff

BTW.
Am I missing something, but isn't mtn diff output "almost ready revision data" ?
