I've done this with monotone and bazaar. It works, but is somewhat
tedious, since you end up doing every commit twice (possibly grouped
into larger commits for git, but still similar amount of work). I have
some support for this in the Emacs DVC frontend - avalable from the
ada-france monotone repository (see
http://www.nongnu.org/ada-mode/ada-france-access.html for contact info).
A better option with monotone and git is to export the monotone db to a
git repository. I have not done this yet, but others have reported
success. Search this mailing list archive.
