I like to second that. Working with iceberg is mostly ok. Where it is not it is
often related more to git than to iceberg. But yes the deployment side has
weaknesses. So my position on this that for production I want to reproducible
load code which you cannot be sure when using iceberg with git and metacello
(repos do not get updated automatically). This is the main reason I use https.
Furthermore iceberg is no lightweight. So I want to have a process that I can
use for small images as well where iceberg should be absent. Please read this
as something to consider for future enhancement. Managing credentials is
something that needs to be improved. In order to be able to load a dependent
project from a private repo I recompile url methods to
inject credentials. So yes a better way is highly welcome ;)
