There's an easier solution here: |
12 |
|
13 |
Bob pushes to a branch or to a public repo ( ie: github ) , and then |
14 |
contacts Alice ( or somebody else ) who pulls their changes into the |
15 |
tree on their behalf. |

Its not "ideal" but better than nothing. And certainly better than |
18 |
being stuck on SVN where this case is virtually guaranteed and with no |
19 |
viable workarounds when it is encountered. |
