Until now I used bzr which handle really badly the iDisk. I use a Mac and a Linux Desktop. I could now synchronize all my work in the same place.

Not a huge difference, but it'll automatically set the .Mac repository as the origin for pushing and pulling, so it'll save you that step (helpful if you are going to clone off .Mac on multiple computers).</p> You also might consider creating a repository on .Mac first and then cloning it to your local hard drive.

When you are syncing a lot of changes constantly to dotMac it has a higher risk of failure due to the other machines trying to sync. This way the changes are relatively small and easier to sync thereby decreasing the chance of a collision.</p> It would make the syncs slower since there would be more files changed (the actual files and the .git ‘database’).

I am assuming you considered that approach and rejected for some reason. Perhaps performance?</p> Just curious, why did you not make the .Mac volume your main repository?

I also do not try and sync gigs of changes every day. Since iDisk basically performs an rsync, as long as your changes are small (which git changes would be) the sync is a non-issue.

I also use it and I'm having troubles every single week with the complete synchronization process. It's not only terribly slow, but also unreliable. The concept is so great, but I wish Apple would do something to improve the web service.</p> Your setup sounds great, but I just wonder how good .mac syncing is.
