Yes, I think it is in the default configuration for pharo 2.0.

No, it does a lot better than that.
It loads the definitions of a previous version of a package without
doing a checkout on the repo, to do with it in MC as you want :
load/merge/compare changes. If you know git, it uses 'git archive' to
retrieve a specific package version in the commit history.
It also bypass most of the stored metadata in the package: methods
timestamps are the git commit timestamps, package history is the git
commit history of the repo (pruned to remove all commits not related to
the package, in the case of a repo containing multiple packages).

I'm displaying it in the repository inspector, otherwise it's ignored.
