copied!<p>What you are describing is the very nature of a distributed system: the whole repository is cloned (with its full history).</p> <blockquote> <p>a DVCS mixes version control (branching and labels) with publication (push/pull to/from remote repo)</p> </blockquote> <p>But there are <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/995636/popularity-of-git-mercurial-bazaar-vs-which-to-recommend/995799#995799">other characteristics</a> that differentiate a DVCS from CVCS.<br> Especially in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2563836/sell-me-distributed-revision-control/2563917#2563917">terms of workflow</a>. See "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2704996/describe-your-workflow-of-using-version-control-vcs-or-dvcs">Describe your workflow of using version control (VCS or DVCS)</a>"</p> <p>And don't forget that a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5683253/distributed-version-control-systems-and-the-enterprise-a-good-mix/5685757#5685757">DVCS doesn't have authorization or authentication</a>. However, there are solutions to provide those, e.g. apache2-authn-redmine in combination with the <a href="http://www.redmine.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Redmine Project Management System</a></p> <p>The <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/264052/smwikipedia">OP smwikipedia</a> adds:</p> <blockquote> <p>Multiple Local VCS + A Centralized Backup = DVCS.</p> </blockquote> <p>I don't think you can summarize that way, especially considering it would be difficult to emulate the push/pull features since most of the VCS (SVN, ClearCase, Perforce, ...) have no "local" repo, only local working spaces, and depend heavily on their central repo.</p>
