Hi, You can use git or mercurial (or other decentralized VC) to do that. I use hg (mercurial). To achieve that, you can do like that: 1) Initialize a repo in org-tree1 2) Clone org-tree1 to org-tree2 and org-tree3 (on the machine1) 2) Put these three org-tree on your usb-key 3) Put these three org-tree on the machine 2 and 3.
Thats all! Now on any machine you can edit org-tree1, make changes, and just pull changes from org-tree2 and 3. If you have your usb-key with you, pull the change from the key, if not, you will do it later and synchronize with the key on other machines. For a better experience, use DVC with hg or git. "Alan E.
