I'd rather not have to pay 10-20$ per month for the privilege of
depending on some company I don't know. And AFAIK the Dropbox driver is
not Free Software (tho they don't say it out loud: they just don't say
much about it, whereas they clearly say that the nautilus plugin is open
source), so it's not an option for me.
This said, you got me thinking, and maybe I could use a lightweight
Bazaar checkout, so the (large) repository doesn't have to be copied
onto each and every machine.

Yes, in this respect, the support for replicating the database poses
similar issues to the support for sharing the database.
BTW, this also brings us back to some ealier point in another thread:
if the metadata DB only stores redundant info and can be reconstructed
from the photo files, then the concurrent modification is only really
problematic when it is a modification to the same photo.
