Yes. And I'm playing with ideas of how to avoid even that so you could set
things up completely off line and then connect things to a repo later,
when you have better internet connection. This would then take the form of
an import of what you have on Subsurface-mobile into a remote repo... I
think I understand the semantics that I'd want for that, but I need to do
some more reading to make sure I understand how I would implement that.
