The guy is apparently happy using a single database for 
monotone (which apparently has a database that is two times 
the size of the git one), but then doesn't want to use a 
single database for git, but wants to force a full clone for 
each. Not to mention that in git, you'd normally not do 11 
clones to begin with, you'd just do 11 branches in one repo.

Having come from monotone to git recently, I have to say that it isn't
immediately obvious how you get the single database for git a la
monotone (with remotes that point to the right place, etc.).  At first,
I also thought that you didn't share the object database on clones and I
had to discover that myself.  It's possible that I'm just an idiot too
;-)

So there is no point discussing things with people like that. 
If he wants to skew things in monotone's favor, he can do it. 
Let him. 

It's possible he's doing that, but it's also possible he just isn't that
familiar with git.
