There has been a lot of debate about the merits of distributed source control management systems, but until you've seriously worked with one you just won't understand how appealing they are. Just ask any developer who has had to go back to a single-repository system.
Chris Adamson recently blogged, "what are the advantages of distributed SCM, beyond the globe-spanning mega-projects?" I've been hearing that question for a long time; it started whenever a new engineer joined a Sun project and had trouble getting their head around TeamWare. But it's hard to answer that question except with, "try it for a while and you'll see."
