Yes, in other cases, with mixed success. In the present situation, I'm just John Doh User on both the client and the server, no sshfs available. > It allows you to mount an ssh-accessible file system onto your local > file system. > This might make it possible to use your local git to access the remote account. > Not sure of the implications for data integrity... Integrity would be okay (single developper). But git is fast with a fast filesystem, not so fast on NFS; on sshfs? I'm not even sure sshfs is "filesystem-like" enough for git. Have you tried it with git? Michael P.S.: Problem solved differently now: got git going(TM) on the server.
