I haven't, though from what I know ENVY takes the opposite approach 
from Monticello in pretty much every aspect of version control :).  But 
you're right, it would probably be a good read.

I also want to try to actually understand the "theory of patches" from 
DARCS.  And Monotone has some nifty stuff with using public key crypto 
when doing distributed versioning in the same way MC does, that would 
be good to emulate some day.
Anyone have any other favorite versioning systems?
