Ask HN: Why is Bluetooth so unreliable?

FWIW, I use git inside Dropbox for my personal solo projects. I don't want to have to use commits and git's remote syncing mechanisms to share in-progress code between my desktop at home and my laptop. I want to be able to pick up exactly where I was on the other machine, including my git staging area and local unstaged changes. It works perfectly for this.

I do occasionally get Dropbox-level merge conflicts for tmp editor/IDE files, but I can't recall getting any for source files.

So, neat trick: "git clone" your local Dropbox copy somewhere, and you get the benefits of "commit" and "push", but it's local; and then your remote is synced via Dropbox :)

GP seems to be deliberately avoiding commands relating to remote management, such as push.

I use a similar setup. I use spideroak hive since its 'zero knowledge', I don't however sync any binary or IDE directories. This allows me to have the source files and git repos synced, but still keep somewhat independent set ups.

just so you know, git on dropbox is not a great idea in a team. solo it should be fine but you are probably better off using bitbucket for free.
