Unfortunately the corporate network in this case is rather conservative, and I can't have a server running, plus I can't even connect my main dev laptop to the corp network... rather silly, the whole thing is.
The company has a private github, BUT that is again not accessible from the dev laptop (because accessing that requires to be at least VPN'd into the corp network, which requires a windows config that disallows admin rights, which we need for development... but I digress). So all in all fossil is great for doing field work and keeping track of tickets etc offline, but I don't have a decent way of syncing. Of course, each dev could upload their fossils to the windows share, and pull from each other to a local repo, but that quite sounds like a bad n-way merge waiting to happen.
