Monotone Browser  

Monotone browser (mtn-browse) is an application for browsing Monotone VCS databases without the need for a workspace. The interface allows one to:

• Easily select a revision from within a branch
• Find a revision using complex queries
• Navigate the contents of a revision using a built in file manager
• Display file contents, either using the internal viewer or an external helper application
• Graph revision histories
• Compare the changes between different revisions or versions of a file either using the internal difference viewer or an external application
• Find files within a revision based on detailed search criteria
• Display file annotations and easily refer back to the corresponding change documentation
• Save files to disk

Monotone::AutomateStdio

Monotone::AutomateStdio is an object oriented Perl library module that allows Perl applications to easily interface with Monotone's automate stdio interface.

Monotone's automate stdio interface is a mode whereby commands are sent to a mtn process via its stdin file descriptor and the resultant output is read back from its stdout. Both mtn-browse (via this library) and later versions of monotone-viz make use of automate stdio. For further details of automate stdio please consult Monotone's online user guide.

Requirements

• Perl 5.8.5 or later
