[BLUG] another thing to mull over: collaborative web development

[Joe Auty]

Using sshfs and FUSE to mount my home directory on my webserver,  
which works great. My partner is using AFP. Straight Appletalk died,  
but Appletalk over TCP/IP (AFP) didn't, unfortunately... It remains  
the default connection method in OS X today.

Unison looks interesting! Looks like rsync with revision control?  
I'll have to look into this further, thanks!
