[Expo-tech] Summary sheets for survey scans

[Philip Sargent (Gmail)]

Ah I see the problem.
It is possible to sync with expofiles, but you don't use the version
control system, you have to use rsync (which I think is dangerous as it is
easy to overwrite everything).

I was assuming you already knew how to do that ?

But I have been thinking for a while that we should have an "ephemeral
repo" which just has the last 3 years of expofiles in it for just this
eventuality. What do the other nerds think ?

rsync is really something you don't want a new person trying in a hurry.
