My suggestion ensures that both staff will need to be corrupt in order for the 
source to leak. Here, there's an armoured car company that does large cash 
transfers, where every operation requires at least two staff to be present. 
They say that it's so that if someone attacks one staff member, there's another 
to back him up, but the real reason is so the staff can watch each other.

 I can think of many situations where such paranoia is necessary - like I said, 
even the leakage of Half-Life 2 is a multi-million dollar disaster that any 
company would gladly pay big money to avoid.

 I think that your problem is of the type that requires expertise in 
espionage/data security, more than in subversion itself. No technical solution 
is going to be able to overcome the problem of infrequent synchronization. Of 
course, you can do things like grouping certain files as being the domain of 
site A, and the rest to be the domain of site B, or you could communicate every 
day by phone to describe the changes without actually publishing them to each 
other. But I think really, you have to sync more frequently.

 Hi, Richard, Von: Richard Cavell [mailto:richardcav...@mail.com] > I think 
they're going to have to communicate more often than once a week. Set up a 
trusted staff member to act as courier, who drives back and forth every day. If 
you're really paranoid, ensure that the CD is encrypted by a method unknown to 
the courier, by a second staff member who is that staff member least friendly 
with the courier. Why the staff member least friendly with the courier? This 
raises the probability that they both can be bribed by an external 
independently, each of them relying on the other one, and they won't talk about 
that. Regards, Markus Schaber ___________________________ We software
