and if we remove the method properties from FileTree, then the
monticello files stored there could not be transparently copied into and
out of a FileTree repo ... and FileTree is SCM neutral ...
Personally I use
https://github.com/ThierryGoubier/GitFileTree-MergeDriver and never
think twice about the properties files ...

Hi,
are "methodProperties.json" files needed?
No.
Every time someone makes even small changes it is accompanied by ten
times more json file changes which is a mess.
Yes, it creates quite some noise on the git logs and diffs.
So is it needed with git? Cannot the information be retrieved from git
commits?
It is not needed for git.
GitFileTree retrieves the information via the git logs.
But, if we remove it entirely, then the repository won't be usable by
filetree. So GitFileTree keeps writing that metadata to stay compatible.
