-In an older version of the patch 
-there was support for simultaneous commits, but any conflicts left the repository in an unmerged state which had to be cleaned up using the non-web
-monotone interface.  The user's data was still stored, and the user was informed if that happened.
-

 The current version of the patch handles conflicts through the web interface.  It is still not perfect as it will break if there is a rename that conflicts with a web change (but so will the other Rcs plugins I think).  It also commits a revision with conflict markers if there is a conflict requiring such markers... ick.

-Note: This patch requires the Monotone perl module, which is only available in Monotone 0.36 or later.  The module is in the Monotone contrib/ directory.  While 0.36 is relatively new, that Monotone module itself will work with a monotone binary back quite a few releases.
-Apparently this module did't make some versions of the monotone 0.36 release tarball.  It is available from the monotone repository here: <http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/branch/changes/net.venge.monotone>.
+Note: This patch requires a rather recent Monotone perl module (18 August 2007 or later).  It is available from the monotone repository here: <http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/branch/changes/net.venge.monotone>.
