You also have to ask the question if the "distributed" functionality is really necessary. Even if companies use git or mercurial or whatever, most have a central repository anyway. They basically offer no extra value over Subversion on that specific (but most prominent) feature in practice.

- IggleSniggle 8y agoOne great side effect of distributed is that even if your use case is generally centralized, you de facto have a lot of valid backup states available if something in the central repo gets borked in some destructive way.
