I have two machines at home that I've been using to play with git: a desktop box and a laptop. I set up a repository on the desktop, and cloned it to the laptop via ssh, but using just a local 192.168.x.x address. However, when I leave the house, I'd still like to be able to talk to the desktop repository, which I can still do via ssh back to the house - but now the address for that very same repository is not a 192 address, but a DNS name. What's the best way to handle this?

I'm aware that with git I don't need to have the all-the-time connectivity to make it work - but when I leave the house, there may be changes on the desktop repository that I haven't yet pulled to the laptop. I still want to be able to get at those when I'm away from home.
