Yes, the article I linked highlights this feature of git too. Having local 
repository and keep ability to use version control being offline in the road is 
definitely good. I personally work in the road a lot and would like the ability 
to make "micro-commits" being offline. Looks like time to learn new tool :)

Distributed version control in git is pretty awesome (something AFAIK SVN 
doesn't do).  Everyone get's their own local repository to play with and only 
needs to push changes to the main repository when they've finished.  This lets 
you commit and rollback locally without effecting what everyone else is using.  
In general that should lead to a more stable trunk for everyone else to use.

to new tool? Just to be in line with last fashion trend?
