The trick from Nathaniel is sufficient. Renaming or deleting branches should not be a day-to-day operation due to the distributed nature of monotone, so UI support does not need to be good.

There's also a simpler trick to do it (locally), thanks to njs:

monotone automate select b:oldname | while read REV; do monotone c
ert $REV branch new-name
monotone db kill_branch_certs_locally oldname

You'll need to do the kill_locally on each database that contains the old-name certs.

Nope, this was never integrated. And by now monotone has changed quite a lot, so this patch won't apply as is.

Is this patch available in Monotone already? Is there a branch I can pull from the repository that includes the command?

I wrote this for branch renaming, based on the script graydon posted on the ML:

It would be really nice, if Monotone could supported renaming or deleting branches through the command line UI, because the database operations, which do that, are beyond anything I can remember. :-)
