I feel somewhat the same as Cees.
Over the years I've used various "fileout-checkin/checkout-filein" SC
systems for Smalltalk code, and they all suck compared to "the real
thing". I haven't been anxious to try yet another one for Squeak.
If I remember correctly, somebody at Smalltalk Solutions 2001 demo'd a
Squeak image hooked to a VisualAge image, using the VisualAge/Envy
engine for the Squeak code.
Or was I imagining that?

P.S. I got an error when I sent this the first time, so I sent it again.
It might show up twice-- sorry if it does.
