YMMV, but I never did get around to putting my home directories on
Coda (partly because I'm running various versions of things on
different hosts with different OSes, and I need host-specific configs;
I also do different things on different hosts, and it's annoying if
.*_history fills up with irrelevant junk).  The things I did need on
different hosts are set up as volume-per-task-category.

AFAIK CMU people have their home directories on Coda.  Maybe Jan could
explain why this doesn't cause regular conflicts?

I will second these.  I found repair really stubborn about doing
anything useful; I ended up just doing discardalllocal in most cases.
I did once work out how to use norton to figure out Code id to file
system path mappings, but it was just too annoying.  In the end I
would just venus -init in almost all cases.
