For what it's worth, git also can fail in some pretty bizarre ways in Dropbox for much the same reasons. I've used git-remote-dropbox [1] in the past to use Dropbox as a git server.

Dropbox, the new git.
If you want to use dropbox, then you should use the dropbox/git bridge, which lets git speak to dropbox somewhat directly, bypassing these problems.

git-remote-dropbox: A transparent bridge between Git and Dropbox - use a Dropbox (shared) folder as a Git remote!
This is a high-level overview. No summary of API requests, but all the file I/O is in helper.py, so you can look there. At a high level, we rely on atomic (over)write and atomic test-and-set. Different primitives could work too, as long as there's some way to get concurrency control through the API.

So, if you really want to use dropbox for syncing git repos, this plugin solves the problem well:

For me, it solved all of the corruption problems with using Dropbox for git storage. In the end, I decided it was too heavy weight, and wanted to be able to clone my repo on machines that might not have anything other than "git" installed, but until I reached that point, I was a happy user of it.
I'm not aware of a similar tool for syncthing.

F*** VCS, all my homies use google docs.
Yeah there are tools that help in doing that. e.g, git-remote+dropbox
