Zephilim:
I think you misunderstood my intention about this question (probably my fault!). Of course I wouldn’t expect to be able to do development on more than 1 machine at the same time. I was purely speculating that you could use Syncthing as a rudimentary backup for a git repo from a master (ie your main dev box) to a slave (backup device). But, if my master box dies for some reason, would I be able to continue development on the slave box (which would probably become the new master). I suppose this would not work if some of the meta data is host specific, but I don’t know too much about the git meta data.
Okay, I think that using Syncthing for this could work in some specific and limited Git use cases. But, if you can set up Syncthing, it’s probably possible to also use SSH, which will allow you to use Git fully.
