  That is exactly the point! :-) Dvcs systems have that potential, but people still generally fall back to using a central repo for sharing, because the network gets in the way of direct push/pull.

    But once you go that path... good luck figuring out what feature got merged when, what are the dependencies, what's the correct versioning, etc. Why would you keep it that way instead of defining some central repository which contains the current dev branch?

      It depends on the project really, centralization has many advantages. I just thought being able to go fully distributed was a neat hack.
