No because if it were true, firstly Gofer would never have been  
developed.

We are not talking about the ability to work locally if you want to.  
We are talking about having all of the history of (in my case) some  
60+ packages from different sources, locally, and providing a non- 
manual resync back to base when you get back on line again.

You can use "MC1.5's copy all (forked)", to grab the whole history of  
a package and keep it locally. if you want to, but that isnt really  
how the tool is designed to be used.
