I���m finding 7.0.3 to be more stable.

Its not completely clear what you want.  

You can right-click a repo > Metacello > Install baseline of.....

Or right-click a repo > Repository > Remotes 
and select one of those branches to check out.

I missed the Repository item completely, all this time.�� I think I was blocking it out mentally because I was already in an Iceberg window that lists repos.�� The doubling up is confusing and unexpected.���� So we have Iceberg repos wrapping Git repos?�� I���m not sure I have the scheme right.

Why don���t we have the usual wait-cursors appearing on long synchronous actions behind button clicks?�� These lock up the system for 1 or 2 minutes often.�� For example, I deleted 20-odd packages the other day and waited 2 minutes for it to finish, wondering why the system was completely unresponsive and showing no indication (no histo; no wait cursor).�� This happens when cloning a Git repo, too.�� The histo opens about �� second before the about 1-m pull finishes.�� This happened in the 7.0.3 build.�� Is there a policy not to use a wait-cursor if not histo is shown?
