Alex, I can't speak about SmalltalkHub, but using FileTree one can store Monticello packages on disk in a form that one can use git for the heavy lifting of source code versioning. With FileTree, you need to do manual git commands.
Thierry Groubier is actively working on providing image-level support for Git based on using OsProcess[1]. Camillo Bruni, Stefan Marr[6] and Max Leske[5] have worked on a couple different approaches to interfacing to the Git C api from Smalltalk ... The Metacello Preview[2] has Metacello level support for interacting with FileTree and GithHub repositories, but I am still in the process of fine tuning the Metacello Scripting API. So at the moment I would say that using GitHub for Smalltalk is only for those interested in being on the bleeding edge. I do virtually all of my work using GitHub on a daily basis. GitHub is my primary repository for Metacello[2], FileTree[3] and tODE[4]. Slow but steady progress _is_ being made towards making git/github as easy to use as any other Monticello repository, we're just not quite there...
