<h1 class="top">Overview</h1>

<p>Monotone is a distributed version control tool. It can help automate
many tedious and error-prone tasks in group software development.
</p><ul>
<li> Store multiple versions of files you are working on efficiently.
</li><li> Transmit changes to files between you and your colleagues.
</li><li> Merge changes you make with those your colleagues make.
</li><li> Make notes about your opinion of the quality of versions of files.
</li><li> Make decisions about using or ignoring versions, depending on the notes
you receive from others.
</li></ul>

<p>Please be aware that monotone is a slightly unorthodox version control
tool, and many of its concepts are similar &mdash; but subtly or
significantly different &mdash; from concepts with similar names in other
version control tools.
