Hi Usman,

as far as I know, I see two things:

• Metacello and Monticello have no true concept of branch names in their

code; there is code where when you decode a package version name, you throw away some of the name to keep only the package name, the version and the author.

and:

• In your example, branch names are not written correctly: from

filetree on ss3 (http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/FileTree/), what you see is that it should be: PackageName.branch-author.version.mcz

So that means that they should preferably not be in a separate repository?

FileTree uses the PackageName.branch to name the directory in which the package is stored, so it is safe (and desirable) to keep branches in the same repository.
