I am not sure if it fits your usage however I am using Dropbox [1] for
transporting my monotone database around.  It is smart in that it will only sync
the parts of a file that has changed.

However this clearly has some issues in that it cannot scale massively and
sharing with other users is not really possible.  However you do get roaming
access to the monotone database.  It was my solution to not being able to run a
public monotone server.
