That is not necessarily the case. I remember times when I just took the
tree of the customer, hacked at it in the company, and when I came back,
we took the original tree, the current customer tree and my modified
tree, and applied diff3 to it, getting all the necessary merges. (The
hard part is, of course, handling new and deleted files, but that wasn't
that much of an issue back then.)
Of course, I you do sync only once a week that precludes someone from
the other site agily adding some library feature to be used immediately.
Unless you get him physically to the other site, that is.
