Because people tend to use a repository as a gathering point?  You
may periodically fetch from and push to a repository, and you may
even do so at the same interval, but simply because there are more
"other" people than you alone as a single developer in the project,
your fetch tends to grab work from more people than yoru push that
publish your work alone?
