If only we had a decentralized version control system.

  There's no reason you can't host your own!

    Because the GitHub source code is available to run by anyone.

      Git does not imply Github in this context.

  I know you're being flippant, but if this was Subversion I couldn't commit, checkout other branches, or really do anything. With git I can do everything except push and pull from Github.

  The devs at my company have been emailing patches to each other for the last couple of hours. It's been fun actually.

    Wait what!? Can't you just reconfigure your .git configs to temporarily use another repo locally? Seriously: for example copying then transforming any one of your local .git repo to a "bare" repository takes like two commands. Anyone with a Linux machine can do it. Then all the devs can temporarily use that repo to push/pull/whatever. I think if you're to the point where you're emailing patches, it's worth it.

      Emailing patches is a classic git flow, used e.g. by the linux kernel. Git even includes a command to format emails and send them. Nothing wrong with it!

      We're all remote so behind home NATs etc. Didn't expect the outage to last as long as it did.
