Gofer git

> The latest version of Gofer should be more stable. I've rewritten most
> internal implementation details, the tests should run faster and they
> do not depend on an external repository anymore. Most of the core
> functionality is now tested, not just things that are easy to test. I
> did the following changes:
>
> 1. I've renamed #addPackage: and #addVersion: to #package: and
> #version:. The #add: caused some confusion and people asked me what
> was done at this point. Since this is just a plain specification of a
> package or a version it is now called like that. It is also shorter.
>
> 2. Gofer doesn't support any longer to work on different repository
> groups in one operation. I've never used it and it made the
> implementation more complicated than necessary. The order in which
> things are defined in Gofer doesn't matter anymore. The following
> specification would try to operate on the packages Seaside2.8a1,
> Scriptaculous and RSRSS2 in the repositories of Seaside and rsrss.

> 3. Gofer prefers to load versions from faster repositories. The
> package-cache and local file-directories have higher priority than
> remote repositories.
>
> 4. Gofer implicitly declares the local package cache as a repository.
> To disable this, send the message #disablePackageCache to the Gofer
> instance.
>
> 5. Gofer throws errors if a repository is not reachable. To disable
> this, send the message #disableRepositoryErrors to the Gofer instance.
> The example below will silently load the latest Seaside version from
> the package-cache, if the remote repository is not reachable (network
> error, squeaksource down, invalid repositor):

>        squeaksource: 'Seaside';
>        package: 'Seaside2.8a1';

> 6. The following command fetches all versions of SomePackage into the
> local package-cache that are not downloaded yet:
>
>    Gofer new
>        squeaksource: 'repository';
>        package: 'SomePackage';
>        fetch
>
> 7. The following command commits all versions of SomePackage into the
> remote repository that are not uploaded yet:
>
>    Gofer new
>        squeaksource: 'repository';
>        package: 'SomePackage';
>        fetch
>
> 8. Gofer has better support for FTP repositories:
>
>    Gofer new
>        url: 'ftp://wtf-is-ftp.com/code';
>        ...
>
> 9. And local directories:
>
>    Gofer new
>        directory: '/home/renggli/repository';
>        ...
>
> 10. And local directories with subdirectories:
>
>    Gofer new
>        directory: '/home/renggli/repository/*';
>        ...
>
> With all this new functionality there might be bugs :-)
