In some scenarios this is certainly ideal but not quite what I'm looking
for in this case I'm afraid.

Good idea which didn't actually occur to me. Although I suppose this
would mean no site online it could be a solution for a quick update.

This is the one that intrigues me. I think I will definitely carry on
looking in to this. As I said I have been reading up on cvs but I was
under the impression that the cvs repository had to be on the remote
server for it to work. If I had the cvs repository on my local machine
could I grant remote access to my colleague? I guess I could somehow.

I have been using bluefish almost exclusively for the last couple of
years but today fired up Quanta during my search and I do actually
intend to give it a go as I quite like the look of it.
