So are we saying that the easiest and less complicated option is to just have local copies for every project. These days, disk space is pretty cheap (and projects aren��t that big source wise)?

For me its not the disk space, but the download time to sync the full Pharo repo if I want to work on an issue.

I often wonder how hard it would be to have a master copy of the Pharo repo and each Image��

does something like --reference or --shared,, but I'm not familiar with their operation and issues��

except what I read here...

I��m sure for others it might be a bigger deal - but I��m trying to understand what is the easiest option to avoid gotcha��s (that more advanced guys can better cope with)
