This would be useful for me! With help on the #squeak IRC channel I've
loaded Monticello into my image but it did involve walkbacks and
backported changes, so I'm curious how you guys are doing it. The
problem is reproducible for me by just opening SqueakMap and letting
it install Monticello as part of its self-upgrade to version 2.2.

I'm also wondering about a suitable choice of respository for project
files and bits of media that I want to reuse between a lot of projects
(sound clips and so on). I could be boring and use Git, but I wonder
about other options -- like for sound clips and icons that I want
globally available to base64 encode them and store them with code in
Monticello, or to use these scary looking programs like SuperSwiki2 to
store project files. Any suggestions from experienced people?
