Hi Derek,

Can you be more specific about what version of Monticello you're using? 
Is it 1.148, which is on SqueakMap right now? The "latest version" off 
SourceForge? Are you using MonticelloCVS as well, or just Monticello?

I put the quotes in there because we've pretty much moved off of SF. We 
had some reliability problems there, and anonymous checkouts lagged 
behind the head a lot. For now we're using a private CVS server, but we 
hope to get rid of CVS entirely in the near future, and go with a 
public Monticello repository. If you want to track the head, let me 
know, and I'll make a mirror available over the web.

Anyway, that walkback seems to be created by a pretty old version of 
Monticello. The file format did indeed change, but versions after 1.97 
still support the old format. It's possible that Monticello got 
corrupted while updating its self.
