It just makes it a matter of policy, rather than technological fiat. In other words, a distributed VCS allows all parties to manage their own repositories equally, and the project can nominate one of them the "official" central repository, without impacting everyone's ability to communicate changes between other repositories. -- \ "Killing the creator was the traditional method of patent | `\ protection" -- Terry Pratchett, _Small Gods_ | _o__) | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au>
