or some other repo in the cloud she pushed to. Once both steps are done,
the assistant will transfer the file from the cloud to Bob.
* dvcs-autosync uses jabber; all repos need to have the same jabber account
configured, and send self-messages. An alternative would be to have
different accounts that join a channel or message each other. Still needs
account configuration.
* irc could be used. With a default irc network, and an agreed-upon channel,
no configuration should be needed. IRC might be harder to get through
some firewalls, and is prone to netsplits, etc. IRC networks have reasons
to be wary of bots using them. Only basic notifications could be done over
irc, as it has little security.
* When there's a ssh server involved, code could be run on it to notify
logged-in clients. But this is not a general solution to this problem.
* pubsubhubbub does not seem like an option; its hubs want to pull down
a feed over http.
