Answer 1

I really don't think Dropbox is a good solution for this. For what you want, I would probably git clone to a USB stick and carry that around.

Barring that, all the online git hosts that I know of (github, etc) allow you to download a tarball of whatever commit, and many of them allow you to edit files in-place.
