AFAIK, there have been at least 3 approaches in the past:
1. The Squeak-CVS interface. This stores Squeak source code using CVS and
uses CVS's mechanisms.
2. My SCAN stuff at http://squeak.heeg.de:8080 (warning: the code does not
work in current images).
3. The modular squeak effort has some repository mechanism.

However, it seems like none of these are currently being employed by
a majority of Squeak users. The problem is that a good repository
needs to have stable roots and good tools in the image, and it needs
to cater for the characteristics of the Squeak community.
You might want to take the discussion onto the Modular Squeak
mailing list. I would be very interested in contributing ideas and
maybe code, but at the moment my time is pretty limited :-(
I'm under the impression that the same is true for some of the other
guys who would be active in that area.

Cheers,
Hans-Martin
