If you synchronize the .svn directories, then I think you can run svn
commands from the home machine as well.

rsync looks at the time stamps. But transfers only the changes between the
files. So, you might not be transferring much data across the network.

You can also take a look at sshfs. Using this you can mount your lab
machines' directory on your home machine. After that you can use the
mounted directory as if it is a local directory. Everything is done over
ssh. You do not need any special permissions on the lab machine. All you
need is root access on your home machine (to setup the sshfs), ssh access
to your lab machine.

In my case, I have the same username on all of my machines. I do not know if
it matters (like... Does rsync care about user names?). Just wanted to let
you know...
