It was never actually released -- I just hacked it up on a side-branch in an attempt to solve some particular horrible problem they had.  None of that code is relevant now, though, because rosters work totally differently.  On the other hand, rosters also make writing such a thing totally trivial.

This becomes somewhat irrelevant if other things are written (workspace merge, arbitrary revert), which is discussed a bit here:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/tree/browse_frm/thread/a326ac15995ef20e/82158702a90fb9dd?rnum=21&q=comp.lang.ada+monotone&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fcomp.lang.ada%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2Fa326ac15995ef20e%2Fbf2f9970828367bd%3Ftvc%3D1%26q%3Dcomp.lang.ada+monotone%26#doc_5130fabe77c45f22

Question is just if someone wants to bother putting in the work on a special clobber merger instead of those more general (but harder) problems.

Hi!

I've heard from Koen that mtn had once a clobber merger back in 0.25 (basically a merge which lets one chosen side win completly). I miss such a functionality pretty much in current versions of monotone, since there's no workspace merge yet and if I find a merge to be very complex and don't care about the other side, I'd like to be able to clobber merge it.

Thomas.
