The '-a' flag helped me when I had the same problem. This is certainly a reasonable solution. The only problem with it, is that, as far as I can tell, you have to check the files in before you move them between machines, which might be an artificial boundary in the work. I tend not to version papers, and other human readable files that often, and with source, I like to only check in when something has been completed. Still it's a possibility that I will consider.
