Tim,

There is no master branch for filetree, the filetree project uses an 
branch per platform model, I started out trying to keep the common code 
on the master branch, but it proved to be too difficult, So each 
platform is pretty much independent ... If it would help, I've invited 
you to be a contributor to the filetree project so that you can do your 
own management of the squeak support.

As you can imagine, filetree is one of the first github projects (using 
filetree):) and I made the platform per branch decision fairly early on 
and learned over time that it is not quite the right model to use ... 
and now it would be difficult to try to switch to a better model -  
branch per release with conditional platform code, is my current favorite...

I did see your issues, but I've been busy with working on some bugfixes 
aimed at an imminent release and haven't had the time to look at it in 
more detail ... things will be a little hectic for me over the next week 
or so, but hopefully will settle down for a bit, before the next wave hits:)
