I can't speek to SVN directly because it requires connected work,

support that kind of model.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding...but since when do you need a network
connection to use SVN...if you really want, keep your repository on your
laptop and work on a working copy checked out from it.
For that matter, ANY source control requires networking...because the
whole point is sending it some central repository.

SVN is pretty much exactly the same as CVS without all of CVS's
obvious problems (it can move files, outside of commit most operations
are local etc).
SVN can also rename files...and it can trace back a moved/renamed file
and recognize/understand that previous versions of the file (even if a
different name or different location) are in fact the same file.
Even nicer is that SVN actually puts the folders/directories under
source control. CVS doesn't do this and it's one of the biggest
problem-causers with it in my experience.

After I have made modifications on the local side is it difficult to
commit the changes to the respective online repository.
Example:
I have a git repository on a server in Canada.
I don't have internet at home though.
I make my changes to the local copy.
Later that week, I hook my computer to the internet and would like to
commit all local changes.
... is that possible?
This is possible with any source control...again, maybe I'm
misunderstanding you guys, but this situation is one of the main points
behind the existence of source control.
