Thanks for the suggestion, but I do _not_ want full _decentralised_
repositaries.
I want one single repository, and a small less-than-repository
client-thingy to handle the little bit of decentralised repository
design that I want. Basically I just want to have the ability to check in
via a
non-TCP/IP network connection with indefinate latency. Going to bitkeeper
or arch
is overkill.

Far too much decentralisation for what I want. I just want to have a
non-TCP/IP
network connection with indefinate latency. How difficult is this? I'm
considering
having a go myself once I've got my work PC with Linux set up to type my
thesis
into.

Already had a look at arch: didn't 'feel right'. For me that is
important: it tends to tell me how easily I will be able to 'scratch my
itches' with
simple intuitive solutions (when you see the problem, phrase it to
yourself, the solution
appears in your head immediately and you just stick it into the system...
I like that...)
Not being into serious developing of version systems such as subversion,
the easy
intuitive 'itch scratching' is what I'll be doing with it.
