The only thing I'd like to see in Tonel is per-method timestamps a la

Class {
    #name : #MCGitTonelGenericLoaderTest,
    #superclass : #ProtoObject,
    #category : #'MonticelloTonel-GitTests'
}

{ #category : #resources, #timeStamp : 'ThierryGoubier 3/2/2018 19:24:09' }

MCGitTonelGenericLoaderTest >> getTestRepository: repositoryName [
    | repo dir |
    dir := utilityClass
        directoryFromPath: repositoryName
        relativeTo: self getTestRepositoriesDirectory.
    repo := MCTonelGitRepository new directory: dir.
    ^ MCRepositoryGroup default repositories
        detect: [ :each | each = repo ]
        ifNone: [ repo ]
]

or

Class {
    #name : #MCGitTonelGenericLoaderTest,
    #superclass : #ProtoObject,
    #category : #'MonticelloTonel-GitTests'
}

{ #category : #resources,
  #timeStamp : 'ThierryGoubier 3/2/2018 19:24:09' }

MCGitTonelGenericLoaderTest >> getTestRepository: repositoryName [
    | repo dir |
    dir := utilityClass
        directoryFromPath: repositoryName
        relativeTo: self getTestRepositoriesDirectory.
    repo := MCTonelGitRepository new directory: dir.
    ^ MCRepositoryGroup default repositories
        detect: [ :each | each = repo ]
        ifNone: [ repo ]
]

but I know there is active opposition to this idea.
