 Thank you Bernt (and Sebastian):

I now understand that it is necessary to pull the changes to the alternate
tree before pushing.  This will make a big difference in the future, I
believe.  It worked as advertized on the /tmp/junk experiment.

I think the other point I had missed, that would be necessary in an FAQ or
tutorial, is that it is necessary to initially clone each of the working
trees, on each machine, from the bare repo on the USB flash drive.  Then it
now makes sense to me to name that as org.git, to distinguish it as a bare
repo.  And once the working trees are cloned from there, then the org.git on
the USB drive is recognized automatically as "origin".  That point eluded
me.   And that git pull will perhaps automatically find origin.

Meld is starting to make sense too.  Thought it would be nicer to have a
tool that would be able to make simple updates from two edits on the same
file if they don't conflict.  Usually, this will not be the case.

Now, is it useful to use the switches on an ext2 formatted USB drive, as
follows?

    $ git clone -l --no-hardlinks --bare . /path/to/usb/stick

Thank you again,

Alan
