Actually, I don't think I did.
In case, that doesn't make sense, my main repository is on my desktop
computer, and I want to mirror it on to my laptop.
Having the main archive on the laptop, and then mirroring it to my
desktop is in interesting idea I hadn't considered, but I don't want
to be prevented committing files on my desktop when my laptop is
off-line.
So my current thought was to have one archive on my desktop that I
normally use, a mirror on my laptop, and a branch of the mirror on my
laptop.
Normally I make all changes to/from the archive on my desktop, even
when using my laptop.
If I am in a location where I can't do this though, I will make sure
the branch is up-to-date, and make changes there instead.
I see Dustin Sallings has also sent a script which may provide another
solution, will look at that now.
