i don't know about Ubuntu1, but dropbox synchronizes only the bytes which
changed, so the sync is really fast. There is, however, still a couple
caveats with this approach (sorry for my brevity earlier - i was on my
phone):

- The temp journal files from sqlite3 can sometimes get synced. i "pause"
dropbox when i'm actively using a dropboxed repo. i don't remember if U1
has a pause option.

- If you use the repo from multiple machines and one or both are
intermittently offline, it can lead to file change conflcts. Dropbox keeps
both copies, one renamed to something like "filename (hostname2's
conflicted copy).fsl".

So... it's not an ideal solution, but it works fine for
single-developer/single-machine repos.
