  Description     : distributed version control software with strong encryption support

monotone is a free distributed version control system. it provides a
simple, single-file transactional version store, with fully
disconnected operation and an efficient peer-to-peer synchronization
protocol. it understands history-sensitive merging, lightweight
branches, integrated code review and 3rd party testing. it uses
cryptographic version naming and client-side RSA certificates. it has
good internationalization support, has no external dependencies, runs
on linux, solaris, OSX, and windows, and is licensed under the GNU
GPL.

- Uses sqlite transactions, not Berkeley DB.
- cryptographic hash is used for each version.


LIBRARIES MONOTONE DEPENDS ON:

Boost

    A set of general-purpose C++ libraries with lots of features. I
    use it for string processing (regexps, parsing), sockets, portable
    filename handling, and more. It's superb.

Libpopt

    An option-processing library, part of Gnome. You probably already
    have it.
