@Edward suggested looking at Tom Brown's leocloud plugin, and I have done that. It looks like classic Tom Brown work - a somewhat abstract but relatively simple system, with just enough concrete instantiations to help with getting experience and guiding future development.
I don't see it as having direct relevance to this project, though it might be useful as an adjunct. It can check to see if a file has changed on a remote system, and restore it if desired. The file system instantiation wouldn't work (as is) on the remote file system, and trying to go through git would be cumbersome for what I'm trying to do. And you would still have to transfer the file contents from machine to machine anyway.
