I don't know. I've been avoiding learning too much about the internals 
of Monticello. Given that .pck.st is esentially a changeset, this 
question is better suited to Monticello experts.

BTW, you are thinking about making tools aware of GitHub. I think it 
better to manage repos with their own tools, and just use the file 
system from Smalltalk.
