* The problem is that you'll have some files that you'll want to work on 
and access both on your desktop and notebook
* computer, how do you ensure that they both have current versions and 
how do you deal with the situation where the same
* files have been modified on both computers when synchronisation is 
attempted?

I don't know about synchronisation, but perhaps this may contribute to 
your eventual solution?  In looking  at non-deselectable packages under 
Mdk 8.1,  I found  "diffutils" pkg  which contains:  diff,  cmp,  diff3, 
 sdiff   ----  
"... diff3 shows the differences between 3 files, and can be used where 
two people have made independant changes to a common original, and can 
produce a merged file with both persons changes and warnings about 
conflicts."       (see also: man diff3)
