Why Distributed Version Control
I just got an email from Uli Kusterer asking me to expand on my comments the other day that Ben Collins-Sussman doesn’t “get” distributed version control…I’ll answer this with specific reference to Git seeing that’s the distributed version control system with which I have the most experience. Although I could rave on about how Git is the best thing since sliced bread for so many reasons, I’ll try to limit myself specifically to its distributed nature.
