Hi,

My aproach is low-tech.

I manage two special files:
- token.txt, which (through shell-scripts) moves around with me and helps to check,
   that I do not have multiple emacs open on different machines.
- open.txt, which is created by a small piece of elisp and helps to check,
   that I do not have multiple emacs open on the same machine.
With both files I can be sure, that there is only one single instance of emacs open
on all my devices (other instances of emacs at least display a warning message).

Having this, synchronisation with rsync is quite easy.

With this approach I do not have merge conflicts (unless I mess up things occasionally :-).
I use several instances of windows and linux, that are connected by network or usb-stick.

best regards,
Marc
