Greetings. Per the setuptools docs, below is patch to add support for the Monotone revision control system[1] to setuptools.

May I suggest, that instead of distributing this as a patch, you simply create a package that contains this support? Then, anyone using Monotone can simply easy_install your package. I would prefer not to have to support this code in the main setuptools distribution.

That was actually my original intent, but then I saw the setuptools documentation suggested "submitting a patch to the setuptools.command.sdist module,"

Oops -- I missed taking that out when I added a plugin interface. (Originally, patching was the only way to add support for a new source control system.) Thanks for pointing this out; I'll fix the docs pronto. :)
