Monotone has a large number of commands. To help navigate through them all, commands are grouped into logical categories.
Many command options come in pairs that affect the same value. For example, mtn log takes a brief option; this can be reversed by no-brief. This is convenient when building command strings automatically; mtn log --brief --no-brief is the same as mtn log.
It also helps when setting options in the get_default_command_options hook; those options can be overridden on the command line. For example, if get_default_command_options specifies brief for log, you can override that with mtn log --no-brief.
The command descriptions describe the most important options for each command, and only one of each pair of options. For a complete list of options, see the online help (mtn help cmd), or the manpage.
