I finally settled on the following (although syncthing looks
promising):

1. git for my 2 org dirs (for home & work)

2. git-annex to manage attachments (I have a local patch to
automatically get annex files from a repo when opening, but haven’t
submitted it yet)

3. git-auto-commit-mode with the following setup:

  ;; auto-commit to git if the file is in one of my notes repos
  (defun egh:maybe-git-auto-commit-mode ()
    (let* ((bfn (buffer-file-name))
           (root (and bfn (vc-git-root (buffer-file-name))))
           (full-root (and root (expand-file-name root))))
      (if (or (string-equal full-root "/home/egh/c/notes/h/")
              (string-equal full-root "/home/egh/c/notes/w/"))
          (git-auto-commit-mode +1))))

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'egh:maybe-git-auto-commit-mode)
  (setq-default gac-automatically-push-p t)

4. A simple script called morning to sync it up:
Hope that helps!

  #!/bin/sh
  cd ~/c/notes/h
  git pull origin master
  git annex copy --fast --to=cloud
  git annex sync

best, Erik
