I have two machines with exactly the same folder hierarchy. Even their
respective drives have the same name, the only difference being the host
name, which obviously needs to be unique in the LAN.

I sync the two instances of my database using git and GitHub. All
bibliography reside in my Dropbox and, once again, the paths are identical
on the two machines.

However, even the slightest change on a machine, and subsequent Save,
sometimes (but not always?) changes every Bdesk-File-N link in my database.

Any reason why this is happening?

When I first created the database, and started using this workflow, each
machine had a differently named disk drive. I was puzzled at first, but soon
realized that this is the reason for the volatile file links. So I renamed
the drives to a common name, and I was under the impression that I had
solved the issue. Alas, not so.

Any ideas? I am very tired of having these huge git-diffs every time I
change a single umlaut or something…

Many thanks.
