	repository: 'github://ApptiveGrid/Soil:main/src';
	baseline: 'Soil';
	load.

Storing and retrieving of an object

After soil is loaded you can create a database and store your object in it using:

soil := Soil createOnPath: 'mydb'.
txn := soil newTransaction.
txn root: yourModelRoot.
txn commit.

In order to read the object back you only need to do the following:

soil := Soil openOnPath: 'mydb'.
txn := soil newTransaction.
yourModelRoot := txn root.
