sigh Many moons ago when I was a starry-eyed lad just learning to use Git, I remember all the cheerful sentences in the Git book like "Unlike SVN, with Git you can work even when the server is down!" The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I see you got your centralization in my decentralized protocol.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Someone should make a distributed version control system.

What would that look like? Can you describe it? It's not very useful to say stuff without providing some sort of useful idea. You can't just say "someone should write some sort of stupid content tracker, and give it some random three-letter combination that is pronounceable," or whatever.

Completely agree. But whoever makes it, they should make it free and open source and designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Additionally, it should be easy to learn and have a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It should outclass SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.

Can someone explain this to people who don't use bower?

He was just cloning stuff and it failed mid-way.

Just the other day there was a discussion about "go get" and what would happen in the case of a Github outage. Sigh...

Can't tell if your serious or not but I suppose that would be properly implemented git.
