Method timestamps produce merge conflicts inevitably. Can you re-post
your changeset here?
https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-tonel/issues Then we could
discuss whether to include it at least in the Squeak version. As we
have heard from Mariano some time ago, VA Smalltalk also puts its
dialect-specific metadata in the Tonel format, so Squeak would not be
the first to do so.

Kind regards,
Jakob
