I may have phrased that poorly. I only want ONE repository.

That's exactly what I want.

That's exactly what I want.

But how do I start when I *already* have multiple copies on the separate
client machines?

I already created a repository on a server, and added files from one of
the clients (weeks ago).

But some of the files on that client have been modified locally and need
to be pushed to the server again. I can't see how to do that.

Then...how do I "add" the files from the other clients, when
a) some of the files will already be identical (to ignore),
b) some will be older (obsolete) copies (to ignore), and
c) some will be newer (working) copies (to overwrite the server)?
