Or just get everyone in the habit of updating their working copies frequently.

"Public" emails really isn't a concern here; as I read the OP, it's 2

By definition, if you use file:///, at least one person will be using
a "remote" filesystem unless they are both logged onto the same
computer, and that computer also hosts the repository itself.
