Git works as advertised, but when all your build processes start with a sync from the upstream master (the equivalent of "svn up") that a lot of build scripts required that to work, then they've thrown away that advantage when building.

Everyone with a checked out repo should have been able to develop and commit, branch and merge locally fine though.

Thanks for the clarification. This is the exact sort of thing I was wondering about.
