I'm not sure how that ties into the issue with local repositories, but one advantage I did see with git is that it made branching "cheap" enough that you could easily do it for every feature or bug fix you worked on. And once you had your own branch and eliminated the fear or breaking the code for someone else, you had the freedom to not only commit changes frequently, but publish them to the public repository, where other developers could review the changes and provide more immediate feedback.
Often this resulted in code review recommendations making it into the code before it got merged into the main branch, while at the same time not requiring a strict workflow with a "code review" gatekeeper step.
So I'll amend my earlier statement that I didn't experience advantages to got. There were some.
