Personally, I find my needs to be satisfied well with 'rsync -rvz
--rsh=ssh' to sync a few directories, such as my evolution
tasks/calender (yeah, I'm turning into an outlook user - scary) and
'projects/' directory. Revision control seems to be overkill in the face
of regular backups and sensible synching. It's not really practical to
merge task and calendar information, for example, anyway - and without
that I see little advantage over simple periodic synchronisation runs.

If only evolution would support networked calendars etc, it'd just be a
few project and notes directories - trivial stuff. *sigh*.
