Fully centralized design is in fact largely obsolete. Centralized operations are still very relevant and important, but I doubt we will ever see a new version control system designed without distributed facilities.
"A few use cases" and "for one reason or another" both do sound dismissive, I agree.
- dtech 8y agoAgreed, the main benefits DCVS bought is the ability to work without a constant internet connection and efficient branching/merging. For the rest most companies are using git in a way very similar to svn, but now Github/Gitlab/Bitkeeper whatever provides the role of a single authorative central server.
- chrisweekly 8y agoYour first sentence is hard to parse, but it seems like you are saying (1) DCVS has more efficient branching than git, and (2) implying git requires a constant internet connection. In which case, (1) is dubious -- got benchmarks? and (2) is simply incorrect.
