You can make use of git without a server: qvm-run -p VMa "git -C /home/user/config bundle create - <revspec>" | qvm-run -p VMb "cat > /tmp/VMa.bundle" and setup a pull on VM from /tmp/VMa bundle and vv. Easy to automate to reasonable comfort level with a simple script in dom0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
