First thing would be to simplify #setConverterForCode and #selectTextConverterForCode.
Do we still want to use a MacRomanTextConverter, seriously? I'm not even sure I've got that many files with that encoding on my Mac-OSX...
Do we really need to put a ByteOrderMark for UTF-8, seriously? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark, it's valueless, and not recommended. It were a Squeak way to specify that a Squeak source file would use UTF-8 rather than MacRoman, but now this should be obsolescent.

A BOM for utf-8 does not make sense. It could act as a switch between legacy encoding and utf-8. But it would also be a decision that will be regretted shortly after. Most files in monticello are 7bit so there wouldn't be a problem changing the default encoding. For every other file an exception will be thrown. So reading utf-8 and on exception reading the same thing in legacy might be a way to go.
