[Glass] gsDevKit / tode first time setup

Thanks for the tode tips - much to chew on!

Stack frame 13 shows:
TDMetacelloUnloadedProjectRegistrationDefinition(TDMetacelloProjectRegistrationDefinition)>>repositorySpecs

.         ->
TDMetacelloUnloadedProjectRegistrationDefinition(TDMetacelloProjectRegistrationDefinition)>>repositorySpecs
@3 line 2
(context) -> aGsNMethod
(self)    ->
TDMetacelloUnloadedProjectRegistrationDefinition(PharoCompatibility)
.t1       -> error printing

and t1 shows  as:

..              ->
TDMetacelloUnloadedProjectRegistrationDefinition(PharoCompatibility)
(class)@        -> MetacelloMCBaselineOfProjectSpec

className@      -> 'BaselineOfPharoCompatibility'
file@           -> nil
loader@         -> nil
loads@          -> anArray( 'default')
mutable@        -> nil
name@           -> 'PharoCompatibility'
operator@       -> nil
postLoadDoIt@   -> nil
preLoadDoIt@    -> nil
project@        -> error printing
projectPackage@ -> nil
repositories@   -> error printing
versionString@  -> nil

With project and repositories also 'mostly' nil.
project -> configuration seems to point to itself (the inspector goes into
a loop)
repositories -> list has a single element:  MetacelloAddMemberSpec with
"(spec repository: nil)"

hopefully that helps.
