		Hello.
	With fetchgit we sometimes have a problem of having to pull entire
history over and over again. For fetchmtn I implemented possibility to
specify local database and fetch needed revisions to it first (and only
then to check out from it).
	I used the Monotone convention of giving branches unique names - using
the reversed domain name prefixes, popularized by Java.
	Obviously with some encoding of source URLs into branch names that
should be possible for some other fetchers in Nixpkgs as well. Is there
anybody knowing those VCSes enough to do that and willing to do that?
