Is anybody using FileTree repositories?
Which repositories? Dale's github?
If so, I'd like to know the pros and cons of using it.
More complex to use than Smalltalkhub/Squeaksource because it is not yet integrated in the default image. Some features may not work, but average MC work under Pharo2.0 works fine with all features of Filetree (including gitfiletree).
Easier to use than Smalltalkhub/Squeaksource for authentification.
I want to use to version everything with git, but I don't know how it keeps git (it is, FileTree files) in sync with MC versions.
A filetree repository appears as a MC repository in the same way as another type of MC repository.
Filetree will require that you do all your version management in the git repo by hand (i.e. save a version of your package in a filetree repo, then switch to a console to commit it. If you forget to commit and save a new version of a package on the filetree repo, you overwrite the previous version and git will not record it. Filetree by itself will only show you the state of the HEAD of your git repository).
If you use gitfiletree (it sits over Filetree), then git commit will be done for you when saving your package, and the repository browser will show you all the history of the repository, exactly as if it was a Smalltalkhub or Squeaksource repository. What will remain to do on the command line are the git push and whatever management you do on the repository (merging, branching, even if you can also merge via MC instead). In short, gitfiletree calls git for you and parse the results :)
I'm still wondering about adding more git commands inside the MC GUI to do more from inside Pharo (like automagically pushing), but I don't want to enforce a specific way of organising the git repository... and I'm just trying to get gitfiletree to pass its tests in the pharo3.0 branch of Filetree at the moment.
