I'm definately interested in this. See for example the split between
push and pull on Branch, which has comments about the typical cases we
see, that are IMO a strong hint as to whats 'local' and whats not. (e.g.
with an NFS mounted repository and a local repo, the repo one is
'pushing from' is almost certainly 'more' local. '*almost*' being the
key word :(.
