I would see the centralized repo as the way to go.  Reason being, the  
syncing 'master' needs to be up all the time, whereas in the  
distributed scenario this is not necessarily so.

The WebDAV idea from Rici was a good one; that layer will anyhow be  
wrapped so that the underlying machinery (I use Perforce, for  
example :) wouldn't be visible.  Could Google's 1gig net disk be used?
