It may depend on your access to the remote machine. I normally use
sshfs to mount the remote file system to a local directory. All the
remote files then appear as local.

If I am going to be working off line, I use a distributed version
control system (I use Bazaar, but others have the same functionality).
Even if I forget to do a proper update before heading off with the
laptop, the merge is usually easy. If you do a proper update first,
then it is dead simple to "push" back to the original.

I add my vote to *always* using a reversion control system just for the
complete record keeping. 

HTH,
Alan
