Hmmm - I donât think Iâve fully understood the instructions. If I already have a project in filetree git format - does creating the .properties file work? What do I do to convert it to tonel format? I think Iâve noticed a few announcements where people have said theyâve moved to the new tonel format - so how did they do it? I tried using git on the command line to add .properties file there - but not sure it did anything? Tim

Ah - I missed that piece of information - could that be put on the iceberg readme.md? In fact - Iâll submit a pr so you can keep motoring on getting it all to work (I really want a stable git environment - we are getting sooo close).

the problem is that tonel relies in a .properties file to know a repository format. and for backward compatibility, if this .properties file is not present, iceberg assumes the repository is a plain old âfiletreeâ repository.
so, until we figure out how to provide both things (a nice tonel switch and backwar compatibility), the workaround is to commit a .properties file into you root repository, with this form:
{ #format : #tonel }
and of course, thatâs before doing anything image-side.

Yes, it is insanely hard to write project in tonel format. Needs lot of hacking here and there, setting the setting itself is not helpful. I managed to, somehow, but I forgot the algorithm already. I am dreadful as to when I will need to do it again. Takes lots of time and nerves.

Hi guys - With all the talk about iceberg changes, Iâve stayed away from it for a bit (6 months) - but downloaded a new 6.1 image a few weeks ago and went to version some stuff yesterday into a new project.
Iceberg seems a bit more stable - but it still seems to write out individual methods as files which I thought had been changed? Am I doing something wrong - or do i need to set something?
