Remote database may not be offline, just can't get to it

[dbhinz]

General overview of your idea.

Section 1.3, near the end of the 7th paragraph.

I think it would be more clear if the text in the parenthesis was reworded. Currently it says "because your database is offline". It isn't really "offline" it is just that because there isn't a connection to the server the remote VCS can't be used. The section in the parenthesis should say something like "because you can't connect to the database" or "because you can't access the database"

"In many other systems, doing so is either impossible or painful. In Perforce, for example, you can’t do much when you aren’t connected to the server; in Subversion and CVS, you can edit files, but you can’t commit changes to your database (because your database is offline)."

What problem will this solve?

Will clarify the sentence.

Have you thought about other solutions?

No.
