New issue 186 by [hidden email]: Metacello toolbox proposal
http://code.google.com/p/metacello/issues/detail?id=186

Hi,
in Pharo 2.0 i recently used the metacello toolbox script  
createDevelopment:for:importFromBaseline:description: and noticed that it  
insists on a versionstring for projects in the baseline to do its thing in  
such a way, that it also fetches the used version of the project. i added  
an empty versionstring to the projects in the baseline and the script did  
its work nicely. then i deleted that nonsense-versionstrings again. i did  
this in a project that is not my own and where the baseline is used as  
bleedingEdge, hence i was obviously hesitant to add a permanent  
versionstring where the original author didnt do that; probably a not  
really rare scenario.

hence my question: wouldnt it make sense, if there would also be an  
additional script (or just an additional boolean argument for something  
like 'alwaysFetchProjectVersions:') that would do that for me?

btw snapshotcello has no problems with this scenario. im just hesitant to  
use snapshotcello because of that gobbledygook it produces. if everybody  
follows its example and put its own language on top of the metacello  
language, then configurations become completely unreadable.
