Actually, that is just as easy with SVN as with Git. The real question is why you would want to have your repository somewhere where the rest of the team can not access it. > I've even seen a cms where the history is maintained > in a git repo.

I have multiple SVN repositories in three different geographic locations that synchronize automagically. I just commit to the public one and that is automagically synchronized to the rest. No need for manual backups and copying to different locations. > git is version control that takes the pain out of version control. I think the real benefits in using Git are in the quality of its revision tracking across branches and merges. It is much easier to figure out where line X in file Y originated then in SVN. Not really an issue for my current workflows though since we have a branching and merging policy that is pretty strict.
