Well, I wasn't suggesting that 2 people work with the same remote
project at once. I won't implement that, because then we'd more or less
have to invent our own vcs-system. But see the answer to Andras,
re-parsing can be done from the local cache (which needs to be in sync
with the remote files of course), it may still slow down kdevelop, not
sure how fast KConfig is on re-parsing.

Well, if your PC looses power while just before or while the upload
happens you're screwed with any approach I can think of.
