Maybe a bit off-topic, but I've written a small tool around bazaar to
allow me to synchronize shared repositories between different
workstations. I use it constantly to synchronize between my main pc
and two laptops. It consists of a daemon, answering to json-rpc
queries about shared repositories and branches, and a client
requesting synchronizations. It only uses bazaar itself for the actual
synchronization operations, thus it should be as safe as bazaar
regarding consistency. And it only uses "pull" operations, so it
should never loose anything. The downside is that it requires a
somewhat specific workflow: you should work using shared repositories,
having one subdirectory per node (workstation). If anyone is
interested I can provide further details/links.

Ciao,
Marco
