Might be possible, yes. But there are a lot of issues to handle:
* CM monitors URLs. How would you map those urls to working copies?
* what overlay should be shown if a file is modified locally but also
has remote modifications?
* how would you explain that the remote overlays are not reliable? They
can't be updated in real time (CommitMonitor only checks in specific
intervals)?

Not to mention the big slowdown which would occur because of this: it
would require a *lot* more string-comparisons ans interprocess
communications.
