Thanks for the explanation so far!

OK, as you correctly assume, for this case it's pretty much fine, I
was just thinking I'm doing something stupid, and wanted to learn how
to do it correctly in case I'll have an actual use case where changes
appear on both sides - but then again, maybe that should then also be
avoided by a more reasonable versioning setup(e.g. throwing out SVN
completely :) )

I do anyway. I just love to have multiple backups in multiple
locations and formats, just to see them all fail differently in a real
emergency case :)

Cheers,
