Using SVN or any revision control would be pretty pointless if I did a weeks worth of changes between reconnecting to the repo and committing changes. I like to do small, frequent changes and commits as I go along. I sometimes also switch between different branches (new feature branch vs main vs bug fix branches, for example). So how I would commit to the repo or switch to a different branch within it *while disconnected from my home network* without a local "offline" copy of my entire repo on my laptop?

It's the checking back in without access to the real repo that is the problem that I'm trying address. Do you follow me now?
