I was going to suggest that, but then there would be no daily
relocate, so I'm assuming this working copy is on a laptop that
sometimes needs to access the repo on the local network (at home) and
sometimes remotely (from work). I don't know a lot about DNS, but
maybe you can set up a DNS server on the homelinux machine (and
disable DNS on the router) with that specific entry routed and
everything else falling back to an external DNS server.

You could do it by editing the hosts file on the laptop, but you would
need to edit it each time you change location.
