Can I use Git, or any derivatives such as Git-Annex etc, as a two way sync framework?

What would be the pros and cons of this framework?

Would the syncs be done through merging diffs?

You haven't really elaborated on your usecase. If you want something dropbox-like, then git-annex assistant should be what you're looking for. SparkleShare is also built on git. Seafile also seems to be similar.

  • Use cause is a two way sync framework to be used for Pair Programming. I am examining the different options out there. Basically though, a host opens a project, a client connects, downloads the project to /tmp, and then changes to either the host or clients version of the "Project" are synced between the two in realtime. (Every character input would trigger a save.) Does that make sense?

  • Sounds like you should be using something like etherpad or google docs instead to get the realtime sync you seem to want.

  • Its for a specific IDE, and so html apps are not an appropriate solution. I could try something with the GData API, but as useful as that is, I find it quite slow.
