MCFileTreeGitRemoteRepository

I was under the impression that Remote is read only because you cannot commit directly to github; this is DCVS.

What I do is that I have local copy of the git repo which is then loaded into Pharo...��

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Metacello new

baseline: 'BaslineOfMyProject';

repository: 'gitfiletree:///path/to/my/git/repo';

load.

Let's say you decide to port a repo from StHub to GitHub. Here's a logical
workflow:
1. Create a repo via the GitHub we interface so you get a nice license file
and readme
2. Create a MCFileTreeGitRemoteRepository as the destination for the port.
For example:
�� (cloneFolder / 'repository') ensureCreateDirectory.
�� destination := MCFileTreeGitRemoteRepository
�� location: 'git@github.com:seandenigris/Superuser.git'
�� name: cloneFolder
�� subdirectory: 'repository'
�� branch: ''.

Oops! I couldn't find a magic incantation to get #2 to work. Here is what
seems to be the problem: If you specify the 'repository' subdirectory, you
get an error that it doesn't exist (because there's no way to autogenerate
empty directories from the GitHub web interface), but if you create it
before the clone, you get an error that the pre-existing cloneFolder is not
a git repo. Catch 22!

It would be nice if GitFileTree cloned the repo and then created the
subdirectory if needed. I hacked around a bit, but didn't get very far :/

I ended up manually cloning and then creating a vanilla GitFileTree repo
