Yes, but the mental burden is considerably higher as you have to *create* the repo first, and checkout it second, and ... where exactly to checkout? why there? how is this new $HOME/inigo folder created and what does it mean? etc., This compared against touching a folder you are using/going to use with your wand and having it under version control. You can then later on grow concepts like repos etc., but the entry barrier is extremely low. I like to see distributed version control as version control for the masses "for free"; always ready, only one git init away from you.
