How about emacs then? A local git repository is definitely a good idea.
Could you set up your Mac or another machine as an NFS server to get a better idea of where the problem might be? If the aren't already, I would use a wired connection for both the linux machine and NAS and put them on the same switch. If LinuxCNC wasn't hardware dependent, I would suggest using virtual machines. However, it might be interesting to look into NFS booting (once the connection issues are resolved). I haven't done this in a while, but a minimal kernel on the linux machine mounts an NFS share as the root fs and boots from there. Small usb flash drives could be used to select different kernel versions and mount points.
