I can hang on to my commits in my personal repo for longer, before deciding to push this to the public repo (or whatever) ... and is that how I'd setup a build server? for it to work from a 'public repo' or a build machine repo? How do backups work? If I have the flexibility to work in my own repo and mix and match with other personal repos of devs around me - then each of us is now responsible for backing up our repo (or we make sure and push to the build repo for backups?) Does the distributed nature of the tool mean I could get away with cheap distributed source control via email (presuming my company had too many issues to allow easy networked access to distributed repos) -- or is doing patches via email a bit more work than its worth for anything other than patches?

But that just takes all the obscurity out of it. And what fun is it without a little bit of obscurity?! Well, yeah I guess it could help for me to mention its a source control system.
