It's really the same as unison, except I have a history of changes, and better conflict resolution. Commits don't have any logical meaning, nor "commit log" message in that case. > I actually [sync?] many of my DVCS working repos between machines; For things where I use DVCS for non-sync purpose, I typically use a separate "work-mess" branch which I sync via "commit+merge" as above without caring about commit messages or commit granularity. And when the work is ready, I move it manually onto a real branch where I "commit properly". Stefan
