This might sound a bit old-fashioned, but I do basically the same thing by versioning my files using CVS. I just checkout my _vimrc and vimfiles directory on every computer on which I use Vim. It works fairly well, and could also be done with SVN or darcs or whatever. Also, are you using Linux only? You could use some sort of pseudo-filesystem like FUSE to make a FTP or webdav directory look like a "real" directory, and then simply source your files the normal way in Vim. HTH! Tom Purl
