I am not sure about that.  Other people would have similar but
different workflow needs where they compare local new one with local
old one that would be helped by renaming local to old and remote to
new (i.e. the other way around from your need).  If you just add a
toggle between local-remote vs new-old, that would be just an
additional code baggage that does not help people other than you.

I think J6t's "EDIT THIS" hits the center of the issue.  If users
are trained to know LOCAL is the one to be edited, would the current
UI work well enough for them thru your custom workflow tools?  If we
rename LOCAL to "EDIT THIS" and do nothing else, would such UI work
well for even untrained users thru your custom workflow tools?
