&quot;I&#x27;m sorry to be rude, but, it sounds like you should go learn Git and come back to this conversation.&quot;<p>It looks like it.<p>&quot;The decentralized design does avoid single points of failures, and everyone does have a copy. &quot;<p>So, like many decentralized systems I&#x27;ve used, a master node gets worked around by other nodes who communicate in another way? Or would some retarded situation be possible where...<p>&quot;Unfortunately (maybe..) everyone has put their master repos in the same place, which somewhat counteracts the decentralization.&quot;<p>...one node going down could prevent collaboration? Oh, you answered that. That sounds better than CVS but shit by distributed systems standards. I&#x27;ll still learn it anyway since everyone is using it. Probably in next week or two.
