A quick question which might be a stupid one...
Can I use version control on a set of files in my Dropbox folder? I fiddle with things both at work (on XP) and at home (on Linux). I'm assuming that I could maintain that set of files with bzr even if it's a directory in my Dropbox folder? I use Dropbox extensively now for current graphic projects.
Not a stupid question at all. Truth is, I'm not sure, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.
I'm using Bazaar on my development projects and I use it locally on my desktop and laptop, but also have a central repo on my server. I also use JungleDisk to backup certain files weekly to 'the cloud.'
I've a tiny shell script that's run by cron to copy my 'projects' folder to my dropbox every hour, but it's a one-way sync at the mo' just to provide a secondary backup.
I'd really like the answer to this, so I jumped on IRC and asked in the #bzr channel:
(07:40:45 AM) sewmyheadon: Hi Folks, anyone here use bzr with Dropbox?
(07:42:17 AM) sewmyheadon: Or, can you think of any reason why bzr wouldn't work with Dropbox?
(07:45:04 AM) santagada_web: sewmyheadon1: you plan to use it for yourself or to share the data with other people?
(07:46:51 AM) sewmyheadon: santagada_web: Myself, basically. I access my Dropbox from both a desktop and laptop and wonder if I'm using bzr on both, could I have my branch/repo setup in Dropbox?
(07:48:27 AM) santagada_web: sewmyheadon1: I can't think of anything that might go wrong, if you are not in the middle of a commit while dropbox is copying stuff
(07:48:39 AM) santagada_web: I don't know how bzr does locking during commits
(07:48:53 AM) santagada_web: but I would guess dropbox would not copy them correctly
(07:49:56 AM) sewmyheadon: Thanks santagada! I think we'll give it a spin and see if/how it works.
So, my short answer would be that we should just give it a try. 
I've been eyeing the Asus EEE and the Mini 9 for a while and am happy to see you've had success with it. Keep us posted.:)
