Also, I agree that methods seem to be the proper level for SCM versioning as they are in the Smalltalk image. I was simply asking, in light of the appearance that the merge driver could seemingly ignore the changes to certain files while still committing them with Git, if it would be feasible to add read-only one-class-per files "for viewing on GitHub". This is more of a sanity check to see if I understood what the merge driver makes possible. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Metacello-GIT-methodProperties-json-tp4818097p4818323… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

There is a plan to have pillar rendering with TextModel. I don't think it will support the full pillar syntax. Le 8 avr. 2015 Ã 11:16, Norbert Hartl a Ã©crit : > What you are after?

At the moment, if you reopen / refresh a repository inspector, you'll get that update. If you browse from the repository, you'll get a 'original' style browser on the stored code, but dead (can't edit). A vision would be to have normal editing over the repository -- then we could have repository state tracking (and reuse the IDE browser code instead of cloning it inside MC). But there is a conflict with smalltalk vision of live coding: you need a far deeper connection of the repository and the Pharo image, and this is clearly not how CMS are designed... git and fossil and the likes are managing dead files, which is a concept which is clearly older than the beginnings of Smalltalk, and it shows. For me, anything clearly Smalltalk-ish in that approach would require a close integration of the image and a versionning Object persistent storage (which would be smalltalk-only in access to, for example, guarantee syntax correctness).
