There are in fact people who are already trying to "federate" code collaboration https://nth.io/notice/7652 https://nth.io/notice/7652

  That's interesting. IIRC Linus Torvalds even came up with a tool to make "distributed/federated" code collaboration quite easy, avoiding any reliance on a single centralized host. Maybe we should start making use of it.

    Decentralized VCS -> centralized decentralised VCS -> federated centralized decentralised VCS and so on.

    Is this a sarcastic comment? Because it sounds like you're comparing two completely different things. Federation addresses a completely different problem than tracking file changes. It's supposed to make it simpler to collaborate across different platforms, whether you're using the command line or a platform the likes of github, gitolite, gitlab, or a desktop IDE.
