Unfortunately, no; otherwise, I'd do that long ago.

The problem is that I cannot afford the additional time needed to
install, set up, and administer a GNU/Linux system.  If I did that,
I'd not have any time left to work on anything else, because I have
too little to begin with.

I hope so.

For projects that I don't need to access too frequently, I login to
fencepost (via SSH) and do the work there.  But doing so for Emacs is
impossible, as the cost of copying files and patches to and fro would
be prohibitive.

If there's any other solution that would not compromise subversions
more than you'd like, I'm ready to try that.

Thanks.
