I choose Bazaar <URL:http://bazaar-vcs.org/> where possible for version control of my software projects. It has many features, one of which is apropos here: "checkout" allows the best of both centralised-style VCS workflow when available and distributed repository workflow when offline. <URL:http://bazaar-vcs.org/Tutorials/CentralizedWorkflow> This allows me to work in checkouts on local hard drives whichever machine I happen to be working on, yet Bazaar keeps the central branch in sync (at each commit to the branch) with the local branch across the network, whenever it's available. When it's not, I commit locally, knowing that I can sync with the central branch later. So, it's almost what you say above, except that Bazaar takes care of the "out to a local disk and back in to the server" automatically, without losing the full benefits of distributed VCS. -- \ "I like to fill my bathtub up with water, then turn the shower | `\ on and pretend I'm in a submarine that's been hit." -- Steven | _o__) Wright | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
