FileTree obviously remaps Smalltalk code concepts (which are already quite simple: class, method) into a directory/files structure, making the conversion easy. Only people who insist on storing a full class or package in a single file are purposely destroying that mapping. Note, for those who miss VW Store, that Squeak has a Magma mapping for code. Note that Pharo had that ability to query the git history for a method since I implemented it a few years ago...
