In DVCS, everybody own the whole copy of repository.
If some old data fall out of the network, you can:
1) ask the repository owner to insert his repository with jSite.
egit-freenet will pull from that automatically.
/OR/
2) have any developer send you his repository.
As all commits are secure-hashed. You can verify the authentic
of repository easily . This is not as bad as you think.
