Bazaar-NG: private repositories on shared hosting
You are a developer, software engineer, web designer, text writer... You want your files accessible from all the places (like a source for your project or a template for a website) - and you want to be sure that it is always the most up to date version...
Sure you can drag those files along on a USB stick and copy it forth and back. You have those files even if there's no Internet access. Important? Sure but...
Not too handy. You always have to take care about updating files on the stick to the most recent versions, copy files, check dates and watch out that you don't modify old files.
You know you are smarter than that! You have a shared hosting and use FTP, don't you? The files are accessible where Internet access is, you don't have to remember about taking USB stick with you. But.. but you still have to take care about copying good versions...
How about using an SCM/RCS tool? This would be great. However most of the tools require you to have a direct access to HTTP server configuration which, in case of shared hosting, is out of the question. A lost battle? Not necessarily...
