Propsed patch

Description of problem:

It is failed to get the latest monotone source code with mtn command shipped as part of Fedora 13 because the port number for mtn network service is not resolved with getaddrinfo.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.48.1

How reproducible:

Trying to clone the montone repository for monotone.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mtn clone mtn://code.monotone.ca/monotone net.venge.monotone
You will get following error message:

  mtn: setting default server to mtn://code.monotone.ca/monotone
  mtn: setting default branch include pattern to 'net.venge.monotone'
  mtn: setting default branch exclude pattern to ''
  mtn: doing anonymous pull; use -kKEYNAME if you need authentication
  mtn: connecting to mtn://code.monotone.ca/monotone
  mtn: network error: service name resolution failed for: mtn

Actual results:

Failed to do clone because mtn is not resolved.

Expected results:

Successfully  cloned.

Additional info:

I already this issue discussed at the mailing list run at upstream.
 http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/monotone-users/2010-10/msg00002.html

I propose a modification to use the default port hardcoded in monotone itself if getaddrinfo is failed. See the patch.
