That will work, although note that if the package has been modified 
since the last committed version, this will create a new version 
instead of writing out the old one.  What's odd about it, however, is 
that you're creating a new MCVersion instance rather than using an 
existing one.  In some rare cases (for example, the package gets 
changed but somehow the modified flag isn't set) this could end up with 
two version files with the same UUID but slightly different contents.  
So you're bettter to look for the old version instance:

version := package workingCopy repositoryGroup versionWithInfo: package 
workingCopy currentVersionInfo.
