Hi
It's not a proper solution, more of a crook, but I use my project
Gitocello for tracking Monticello repositories (commits are saved
structured by category into folders, commited with the Monticello
message and author to a local git repository).
I actually started this project to be able to easily share packages
between Squeak and Gnu Smalltalk, but I found that much of the tooling
git provides me with really helps when porting code to and fro (bisect,
blaming, seeing branches and merges, cherry-picking commits, seeing
commits which touch a particular class).

I would love to see Monticello tools evolve to include some of these
features. Personally, what I miss most right now is just being able to
see the minimal diff between two arbitrary versions of a package
(creating and mcd and browsing it seems to show me the complete
package).

Just me formulating dreams.
