No, I meant what I said: fsvs is presumably a fuse-filesystem and
mounted under ~. It being a Subversion-backed filesystem, there has
to be some repository behind it all. This can either be local, in
which case you cannot really synchronise between two machines
independently (unless you treat one machine as a central node), or
you won't be able to use (commit to) the filesystem when offline.

Am I misunderstanding fsvs?

Well, if I am making changes to the filesystem, I want to have them
committed. From what you suggest, it seems as if fsvs requires some
external command to be run to actually make commits, in which case
you'll end up with gigantic, unrelated commits after working on your
files on e.g. a transglobal (= long) flight.
