You can use Dropbox as Git server if you wan't.

Please don't ever do this, unless you wish to invite Dropbox's file syncing to destroy your repo.

Yes. I'm sure it works for the common case. It's the edge-case problems outlined in the answers below it that worry me more.

Going out on a limb: I'd assume that if you care enough about your data to version it in a git repo, then I'd also assume that you'd not enjoy it exploding because of a sync problem between two computers.

> wan't
