Indeed, that seems to have been the case. After making a backup of my 
certification directory I removed all the files that were not in 
Monotone. That includes the _darcs directory, hidden files, a library, 
test files, a TODO list, etc. Then I ran 'mtn update' and Monotone 
deleted everything. It deleted all the files and directories under the 
certification directory. It's ok because I had a backup, but it's not 
what I was hoping monotone would do.

I'm not happy with what Monotone did. If I undo a commit, I don't want 
Monotone to delete or modify my files. If I wanted that I would have 
told it to revert. What I want is that Monotone remove that action from 
the database and then behave as if the commit had never happened. I 
don't want it to mess with my files unless I say 'revert'.
