Classical repeated measurement has fallen a bit out of favor, because mixed
models as in lme (package nlme) and lmer(package lme4) are MUCH more flexible
and in general more stable when data are missing.

So I recommend to switch to lme (better documented, currently), and use

as a starter when trying to do multiple comparisons.
