The two current challenges at the moment are Metacello/git integration and in-image support for git operations.

The Metacello Preview represents my current take on integrating Metacello and git/github ... I like most of what I have, but there are a few things that I'm not happy with and that will need work before it's ready for primetime...

There has been work done by Max Leske and Camillo Bruni to provide a FileSystem-based access to git, but I haven't had the time to play with this yet ...

At this point in time, things are usable by pioneers who are willing to put up with a few hardships:)

| It's worth reminding people that filetree works just great as a
| Monticello back end (and does so right now). When you're developing,
| you're unaware that there's file system swizzling to a git
| repository.
| And if you use Dale's builderCI version, you can hook up to Travis CI
| and get continuous integration for free.
| 
| Gitocello too works great: the tradeoff is that filetree versions
| semantic units while Gitocell versions chunk-format fileouts.
