You might probably notice that I did such a thing for Squeak quite some
time ago - it had arbitrary repository syncing, digital signatures, a
HTTP front end for manual access etc...

Sadly, it did not lift off at the time - my implementation choices
regarding data storage and interchange protocol were probably not the
best, and marketing is not my strength :-)

Anyway, the ideas are still there, and Squeak has all the required
building blocks to do it - I would love to do it, but don't have the
time for it right now...

Cheers,
