现在是2014年，我已经使用Git和Dropbox大约一年半了，没有任何问题。 以下是几点:

我所有使用Dropbox的电脑都是Windows操作系统，不同版本(7到8)+ 1个mac。 我不与其他人共享存储库，所以我是唯一一个修改它的人。 git push推送到一个远程存储库，这样如果它损坏了，我可以很容易地恢复它。 我必须在C:\Users中使用mklink /D链接目标创建别名，因为一些库指向绝对位置。

对于使用Dropbox的小型团队:

如果每个开发人员在Dropbox上都有自己的可写裸存储库，这只对其他开发人员开放，那么这就有利于代码共享而没有损坏的风险!

然后，如果你想要一个集中的“主线”，你可以让一个开发人员从自己的回购中管理所有推送。

I've been using Mercurial in the recommended manner and urge that you be cautious, especially if any of the machines differ. The Dropbox fora are full of complaints of mysterious filename case problems turning up spontaneously. Hg (and I presume Git) won't notice or complain during routine checkins and you'll only hear about the corruption when it complains of a corrupt repo when you try to use it for real. Bad news. Wish I could be more specific about the problem and its workarounds; I'm still trying to dig out from this mess myself.

我喜欢丹·麦克内文投票最多的回答。我最后做了太多次git命令序列，决定做一个脚本。就是这样:

#!/bin/bash

# Usage
usage() {
    echo "Usage: ${0} -m [ master-branch-directory ] -r [ remote-branch-directory ] [ project-name ]"
    exit 1
}

# Defaults
defaults() {
    masterdir="${HOME}/Dropbox/git"
    remotedir="${PWD}"
    gitignorefile="# OS generated files #\n\n.DS_Store\n.DS_Store?\n.Spotlight-V100\n.Trashes\nehthumbs.db\nThumbs.db"
}

# Check if no arguments
if [ ${#} -eq 0 ] ; then
    echo "Error: No arguments specified"
    usage
fi

#Set defaults
defaults

# Parse arguments
while [ ${#} -ge 1 ]; do
    case "${1}" in
        '-h' | '--help' ) usage ;;
        '-m' )
            shift
            masterdir="${1}"
            ;;
        '-r' )
            shift
            remotedir="${1}"
            ;;
        * )
            projectname="${1##*/}"
            projectname="${projectname%.git}.git"
            ;;
    esac
    shift
done

# check if specified directories and project name exists
if [ -z "${projectname}" ]; then
    echo "Error: Project name not specified"
    usage
fi

if [ ! -d "${remotedir}" ]; then
    echo "Error: Remote directory ${remotedir} does not exist"
    usage
fi

if [ ! -d "${masterdir}" ]; then
    echo "Error: Master directory ${masterdir} does not exist"
    usage
fi

#absolute paths
remotedir="`( cd \"${remotedir}\" && pwd )`"
masterdir="`( cd \"${masterdir}\" && pwd )`"

#Make master git repository
cd "${masterdir}"
git init --bare "${projectname}"

#make local repository and push to master
cd "${remotedir}"
echo -e "${gitignorefile}" > .gitignore # default .gitignore file
git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin "${masterdir}/${projectname}"
git push -u origin master

#done
echo "----- Locations -----"
echo "Remote branch location: ${remotedir}"
echo "Master branch location: ${masterdir}"
echo "Project Name: ${projectname}"

该脚本只需要一个项目名称。它将在~/Dropbox/git/中生成一个指定名称下的git存储库，并将当前目录的全部内容推送到新创建的origin主分支。如果给出了多个项目名称，则将使用最右边的项目名称参数。

可选地，-r命令参数指定将推送到源主机的远程分支。项目起源主节点的位置也可以用-m参数指定。一个默认的.gitignore文件也放置在远程分支目录中。目录和.gitignore文件默认值在脚本中指定。

正确的方法是使用git-remote-dropbox: https://github.com/anishathalye/git-remote-dropbox

在Dropbox中创建自己的裸回购会导致很多问题。Anish(库的创造者)解释得很好:

The root cause of these problems is that the Dropbox desktop client is designed for syncing files, not Git repositories. Without special handling for Git repositories, it doesn’t maintain the same guarantees as Git. Operations on the remote repository are no longer atomic, and concurrent operations or unlucky timing with synchronization can result in a corrupted repository. Traditional Git remotes run code on the server side to make this work properly, but we can’t do that. Solution: It is possible to solve this properly. It is possible to use Git with Dropbox and have the same safety and consistency guarantees as a traditional Git remote, even when there are multiple users and concurrent operations! For a user, it’s as simple as using git-remote-dropbox, a Git remote helper that acts as a transparent bidirectional bridge between Git and Dropbox and maintains all the guarantees of a traditional Git remote. It’s even safe to use with shared folders, so it can be used for collaboration (yay unlimited private repos with unlimited collaborators!). With the remote helper, it’s possible to use Dropbox as a Git remote and continue using all the regular Git commands like git clone, git pull, and git push, and everything will just work as expected.
