I wonder, have there been any case studies on phishing/trojan type attacks by code (git changes) via email?

Most of the time it's not about the code. Project management, issue tracking and prioritization, discussions, PR reviews, searching across the organization repos, etc.

  There are (all too rare) tools that back those objects with git as well. And there's always fossil ... https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki But it's not git. :-(

  I would like to see Git be extended with a decentralized approach to bugtracking, code reviews, wiki's for documentation etc.

    What do you need for wikis? Just put text files in a folder? Bug tracking in git: https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug Code review in git: https://github.com/google/git-appraise https://github.com/google/git-appraise

  Yes, it's also good a variety of different systems to store and address Markdown. Which you could, you know, put in git. Git is more than just GitHub though, that much is true.

I know git claims to be decentralized, but has anybody ever actually managed to use it in a decentralized manner? Not even the git or Linux projects themselves are without a centralized sync point.

  Grandparent can still work off their local git repository, create local branches and commits, unlike the traditional VCS model which required branching and commits to be immediately synced to a centralized node. The centralization issue that you raise is a different one; most projects intend to take contributions from folks and merge them into a single product.

    Noted on the definition of the word “decentralized”, but the comment I was replying to was specifically about the ability to “send/receive code and patches”, that’s what I haven’t seen done without a central sync point.
