Hi Timothy,

Yes, if we want to work with Grease (the Seaside compatibility layer), we will need to make sure that FileTree is able to load the Grease repo for us to work with it.  (Perhaps I can write something up that may help illustrate.)

I've got a lead on it now, and will hopefully find some time in the next few days to dig deeper.  If not, it may have to wait until next week.

Thanks,
Tim
