Those numbers are meaningless, ignore revision numbers.  Just diff the code,
you'll see there are no changes to Magritte.  I'll try and be more careful
about committing things that look like forks that aren't.

That's a file based version control system, it's not going to work for
Smalltalk code.  Learn how Monticello works, it's is the main version
control system for Squeak, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
