Do we really need another version control system? As I understand it, this is like a distributed, central-server-less, CVS, sorry, SVN server.

But why isn't such a feature set added into SVN? Why do I have to download another version control system just so that I can "git" libxcb and X11 so that I can compile gtk so that I can compile xchat so that I can go onto the IRC server for madwifi so that I can ask someone there why their wifi drivers don't create a /dev/wifi0 on my system so that I can get my wireless working????

Aaaaah.
