Let me just clarify here.  What you're describing below is a bug in a very
old version of Monticello.  Monticello as a project is definitely being
actively worked on.  The experimental feature that you're using
(Squeak-based remote repositories) has been dropped temporarily in an
effort to limit the scope and increase the usability of the package.
That feature (in fact, that entire version) was only ever intended as a
proof of concept, and I wasn't aware until this message that *anybody*
actually used it (I certainly never did).

My recommendation would be that you move to the newer versions of
Monticello, and use CVS as your remote repository for now.  If we get a
critical mass of people doing this, work on the core model should proceed
fairly quickly, and we can then look at bringing the fun stuff like
Squeak-based repositories back online.

If you would really prefer to keep using the old, pre-alpha version of
Monticello, go ahead, but I have no cycles available to support it...

Cheers,
Avi
