Valid point. The thing is that with a decentralized version control |

system you can create local commits and branches on the very same |
8 |
"checkout" that you from a server you do _not_ have write access to. |

You can take these commits and push them to another machine (called |
10 |
"remote" in git). |

So that difference especially counts for people who do not have |
13 |
write/push access, i.e. people just starting to contribute. |

PS: I volunteer to teach the fundamentals of Git to any Gentoo dev |
