Thanks, Carl. I have tried that route in the past and I found that I let robby/plt get too far out of sync with the tree. So I'm looking for a workflow where, perhaps, what I do is create robby/plt only when I want to move between machines and use it as a temporary storage place (as Eli's email suggests). Does that sound workable to you?
