[TxMt] Remote projects

[Matthew Erker]

I run into another real-world, practical hurdle which shoots any  
attempt at version control to hell. Many a project I hand off to a  
client gets altered by the client forcing me to work from their  
"current" version. In a case such as that it would be very nice to  
have a means of organizing and working remotely.
