I tried it and it works very well. Thanks. So, I guess I can leave all repos
open all the time at both locations, and only do PULL/SYNC/PUSH at start/end of
work day.
(I only worry a bit about the possibility of the USB eventually becoming full
during a ‘push’ what consequences will it have on my repo’s integrity – a
scenario less likely to happen on a server)
BTW, the syntax for Win7 is file://d:/path/file.fossil
Hmm, now I wonder, could this file syncing also work with FTP over the Internet
by changing file: to ftp: (or something) as I have a private FTP server on all
the time (you know, those NAS/storage servers)?

Most thing we get working on Linux first, as that is the primary desktop for
most of the Fossil developers (Jan excepted)....
That said, I think the previously described system of syncing to your
thumb-drive using the file: scheme is probably going to work best for you. To
recap:
(1) Run "fossil all setting autosync off".
(2) Make copies of all repos onto your thumb drive.
(3) For each working check-out:
(3a) "fossil remote file:/path/to/repo/on/thumb/drive"
The above is a one-time setup. Now, to transfer, just plug in your thumb drive
and do:
fossil all sync
Then take the thumb drive home and do "fossil all sync" there too (having
previously done the same 3-step setup).
I'm not exactly sure what the syntax for the the "file:" URL is for the D: or
E: filesystem (or whatever your USB stick comes up as). And I'm away from the
office and don't have access to a windows machine to test it. Some
experimentation is in order, but once you get it working, it should just work.
