If you understand the difference between the two, you'd realize your comment makes no sense. The fact that github went down due to a power failure has nothing to do with git as a solution.

The fact that everyone uses git more or less the same as svn is the problem. Git is decentralized, but because so many people rely on github most don't ever use the decentralized aspect to it.

If you understood my comment, you'd know I don't understand the differences between the two that much since I haven't studied them yet. Been clear in a few comments on that. The reason I associate them here is that most projects I see don't just use Git: they use Github, too. So, I briefly wonder and get feedback about how inherent Github-style downtime was or if it was configuration/deployment issues.

Several commenters helpfully described how Git can easily prevent stuff like this and that project-level stuff is why this is a liability. That's good to know as it's already a selling point to management types for a solution like it. Can just ensure the problem doesn't show up in a local deployment by a wiser configuration.

I understood your comment just fine, but the opinion you had formed was based on false assumptions, so I was trying to correct it, that's all.

Personally I try not to form strong opinions about things I haven't actually learned or understood yet.
