I have heard of Monticello. (I may need to re-read the chapter on it in Squeak By Example). I've used other version control systems, and understand how to use them, but I don't know of any that let you diff source trees that aren't in the same version control system, so I have no reason to expect that Monticello would do that, either.
Still, I suppose I could try to leverage off of the diffing tools and change the way that it gets its input data. My biggest hang-up is that I am, well, a beginner with Squeak.
