I work on the same project on different machines (each of them has different resources that I need from time to time). So I clone to all the machines. If I make a fix in one machine, other machines should automatically fetch it. It's like a private p2p network with a single user. If I add another machine to the network, all nodes should be aware of it, without me doing "git remote add" on each node. -- Duy
