GIT IS DECENTRALIZED

[dbmikus]

But the identity part of git is not (unless you count pgp signing of each commit, which never took off at a large scale)

and the git tools don't automatically propagate repo changes by default across a network

[rakoo]

The identity of a repo is its url so yes, the identity part is decentralized

[dbmikus]

Identity is more than a name. It is also proving that you own that identity (aka authentication)

[iamnothere]

Issue tracking and collaboration tools are not. (Although many small projects could get by with a todo.txt and a mailing list.)

[jmalicki]

But if you just hashed all the changes and put them in Merkle tree to verify, wouldn't that make it so much better?

[fooqux]

Yup, but the community you build around a project is not.
