I use bzr (another vcs). My system is to place my org files on a server
at home and mount the org directory as an nfs share on my local
computers. Thus when I am at home I can access org files from any
computer on my home network, or just run emacs on the server.
Every evening a cron job automatically commits any changes to my
server's bzr repo and at the same time pushes the updates to an external
web server.
On my notebook I have a local bzr branch of my org files. This covers
most bases when I am away:
If I remember before I go out, I can pull the latest changes from my
home server to my notebook and just carry on working. If I forget to
pull my changes I can pull all changes up to last evening's commit from
the Internet.
If all the above fails, I can just work on the branch I have on my
notebook. This isn't usually more than a couple of days old. When I get
to somewhere with an Internet connection I can use bzr to merge the
changes on my notebook to the latest version.
It also means that I have at least three copies of my org files in
different places, so disk failures, etc won't result in much, or any,
lost work.
Ian.
