8.4 OPTIONS

--help
Print help message.
--debug
Turn on debugging log on standard error stream. This is very verbose. Default is to be silent, unless an error occurs, in which case failure log is dumped.
--quiet
Turn off normal progress messages.
--dump=<file>
Dump debugging log to <file> on failure.
--nostd
Do not evaluate "standard" Lua hooks compiled into monotone.
--norc
Do not load Lua hooks from user's ~/.monotonerc file.
--rcfile=<file>
Load extra Lua hooks from file (may be given multiple times).
--db=<file>
Use database in file.
--key=<keyid>
-k <keyid>
Use keyid for operations which produce rsa signatures. Default is inferred from presence of unique private key in database. Can also be customized on a per-branch basis with hook function get_branch_key(branchname).
--branch=<branchname>
-b <branchname>
Use branchname for operations on a branch. Default is inferred in operations on existing branches (commit, update, etc).
--ticker=[dot|count]
Use the given method to print tickers. The count method prints the count for each ticker on one line, incrementing the numbers in place, while the dot method prints a continuous string of characters (like some programs provide a progress line of dots). The default is count.
--revision=<id>
-r <id>
Currently this option only applies to the diff command where it may be used to compare a working copy with a specific revision or to compare two specific revisions. It will likely apply to other commands in the future.
--message=<log message>
-m <log message>
Use the given message as the changelog when committing a new revision rather than invoking the log message editor. Currently this option only applies to the commit command but it may also apply to the comment command in the future.
--root=<root dir>
Stop the search for a working copy (containing the MT directory) at the specified root directory rather than at the physical root of the filesystem.
