I do precisely what Bernt outlines here so clearly and it works great. I keep a bare repo on a USB drive and push and pull changes to it. (Magit, an emacs mode for managing git commits and history, works wonders here.) I haven't forgotten my USB drive yet, but if you're worried about that, you could always put the repository on a server. Also, if I were to forget the USB drive, I would simply create a branch and email myself a patch or patches at the end of the day and then merge them with the working copy on one of the other machines. The beauty of git (or other distributed version control systems) is that your complete history is in multiple places, so if you lose the USB drive, you can simply get a new one and put a bare repository on that. (Of course, if you're worried about data security, I wouldn't recommend an unencrypted USB drive.)
