+
+Accessing Version Control
+----------------------------------------
+
+Botan's development occurs using a distributed version control system
+called `Monotone <http://www.monotone.ca>`_.
+
+The main branch of development occurs on the branch named
+``net.randombit.botan``; this is probably the branch you want. To
+download that branch and set up a new workspace, run::
+
+   $ mtn db init --db=botan.mtn
+   $ mtn pull --db=botan.mtn randombit.net 'net.randombit.botan'
+   [...]
+   $ mtn checkout --db=botan.mtn --branch=net.randombit.botan
+   [...]
+
+By default the ``checkout`` command will place the workspace in a directory
+with the same name as the branch you are checking out.  If you want a
+different directory name, just include it after the ``--branch`` option (you
+can also rename this directory at any time).
+
+If this is the first time you've connected to the server, Monotone
+will print::
+
+  mtn: first time connecting to server randombit.net
+  mtn: I'll assume it's really them, but you might want to double-check
+  mtn: their key's fingerprint: 8c0b868f2247215c63c96983b1c8ca0f0f0cfd9a
+
+The fingerprint shown above was the correct one as of September 21, 2010.
+
+To pull further changes, from anywhere in the workspace run these commands::
+
+  $ mtn pull
+  [...]
+  $ mtn update
+  [summary of changes]
+
+The ``mtn update`` command will give you a summary of which files changed;
+to view the full changelog, run ``mtn log``.
