you mean that gitFILETREE:// would somehow use TONEL? No, I mean a configuration file specifying tonel, like we currently have .filetree files in every directory with filetree things in it. Embedding the serialization format in a domain spec seems like a really bad idea.
Sean, You are right ... the plan is to have a file in the root of the tonel repository that specifies (at a minimum) the format of the repository ... similar to the .filetree file in FileTree repositories ... then we will have a format neutral url that can be used for tonel or filetree format repositories on disk and we will have an url inspired by gitfiletree:// that will be used to replace github:// in Metacello specs (github:// will continue to be supported) bu can be used with github, bitbucket, etc. So this is the plan, and now Esteban and I have to find the time to execute the plan:) Dale
