Storing all history locally changes several search operations from time-consuming emergency techniques to immediate options.
Support for network structures besides "central server with commit haves and have-nots" greatly reduces the amount of inherent politics and the seriousness of forks.
Every repository is a full backup, and could become a new primary server if necessary. Even if you still use a "commit to central server" network structure, this comes in handy.
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoI like that DCVS makes the "commit to central server" idea a community agreement rather than a technological limitation.
- silentbicycle 18y agoExactly. You can still use a DCVS like a centralized system, if you want, you just get automatic backups, faster searching, and load balancing for free.
