| > The question was misinformation. Please tell me where the "misinformation" is in the following question: What does dropbox add that you don't get from git?[1] And/or with git and a
decent backup system(tarsnap/duplicity/rsync)? It seems like a lot of extra
overhead and data privacy concerns for little gain. What am I missing?
And while we are at it please explain how I did not ask for a comparison?As far as "git does not offer a centralized storage system" goes, Scott Chacon seems to disagree with you: "If you have a small team or are already comfortable with a centralized workflow in your company or team, you can easily continue using that workflow with Git. Simply set up a single repository, and give everyone on your team push access[1]" You did not mention if you are a windows user. I imagine that you are if you are not aware of the options to run your own git server. Of the many ways to set up a git server that are presented in Pro Git[2] my favorite is gitolite[3]. But there are lots of other ways, I recommend you take a look at the the options for yourself. [1] http://git-scm.com/book/en/Distributed-Git-Distributed-Workf...
