How about if he is using Git? It is normal to work out of your local repository and only sync with the master occassionally, no? At least on projects that can tolerate such methods.

I push to a personal remote at least twice a day. Not doing so is asking for trouble.

And I agree- I am a veritable slave to keeping my data syncronized- but I recall many people lifted up the local repo idea, and being able to sync twice a week, as the herald of the future.

Well, you can pull from upstream twice a week. And you can keep a master on a computer in the next room.

(I'm also not terribly worried about my Air or my Hackintosh giving up the ghost, so...)

I highly recommend upping this closer to twice an hour.

I said "at least". ;) It's really more like "oh hey, I just committed and it works, might as well push while I'm here." Usually every 3-4 file changes or so.
