SCM? Hah! The image was path-dependent. I seem to recall getting into a position where the code you filed out of one image couldn't be filed into a new image---you had to get a previous version and then upgrade.
Deployment strategy? Ship 'em the image. Maybe you should disable the editor first, though.
No matter how bad you think "modern" dev is, Smalltalk was worse.
