Thanks Dale for all the explanations.
How Monticello and version control relate in the big picture is starting to
make sense for me.
Now, I better understand why filetree ended up uses a file-per-method format,
even though that is relatively hostile to git user interfaces optimised for
other languages. There is really a need for a file-per-class exchange format,
because that would works a lot better with the existing VCS ecosystem.
I agree 100%, but as I've mentioned in another post, I think that
switching to a file-per-class exchange format needs to be a
cross-dialect effort. A format that accommodates the diversity of
Smalltalk class definition and even method metadata while still being
readable is a bit of a challenge - solvable, but challenging....
Personally, I have other fish to fry, but I would be willing to
participate in such an effort if someone else is willing to lead the
charge:)
