| Ease of publishing branches Git 5 Monotone 0:
| 	Reasoning:
| 		With git, I push and transfer the number of bytes that I have changed
| 		to the server. So a small change is a small upload.
|
| 		With mtn (0.37 here) in contrast it wants to upload every revision
to the
| 		server. I'm on a GPRS/UMTS/CDMA line and after ~48MB of upload I got
| 		disconnected, twice. The revs still reside on my disk only, I'm not able
| 		to share it. The database is locked during this operation, I can not do
| 		diffs, commits, checkouts during this time.
|
| 		Publishing means uploading what we have created, which is a lot
bigger than
| 		just my small change.

That's because you used the wrong branch include pattern when pushing,
you did:

~  mtn push host org.foo.zecke1

you want:

~  mtn push host org.foo.{original,zecke1}

the second will only transfer new revs, instead of marking all revs with
the new branch cert and (re)transferring them.
