I would expect the .sources file to be read/only. The .changes file
on the other hand gets quite messed up when you have multiple
instances pounding on the same .changes file. For my use I don't
care but others might. Once I put a squeak image/changes into
production and it starts running across my "cluster" of machines
the .changes file is basically just hash.
