Glad to hear that.

The surprisingly big mcds have been a personal pet peeve of mine for quite
some time. I would really like this 'history trimming and restoration code'
become part of Squeak so that people can use mcds to store their work and
not waste a whole lot of disk space.

And if this became part of the update process, the amount of data one
needs to download to update to the current alpha would be down to a
trickle.

Best Regards,

Milan Vavra
