tolerate and eventually support "Metadata" : "false" -- GitFileTree metadata-less mode -- in GemStone #195

Closed dalehenrich closed 4 years ago

dalehenrich commented 8 years ago

see the discussion in this thread ... initially GemStone needs to tolerate repositories that contain metadata-less packages ... then start considering ways to support and load metadata-less pacakges ...

GitFileTree's metadata-less mode means that the *.package/ monticello.meta/version file and all method property files are missing and no longer created ...

With the above patch, GemStone can properly read a metadata-less repo, but when it writes to the repo it will go ahead and create the metadata again ...
