1) awesome collaboration -- for example, I could fork the repo on github, develop some experimental video feature, you and sebastian could test it and submit changes, then we could send a pull request to max who could integrate it into the main repo -- all of this is automatically published on github with easy web access as well as the git command-line tools I use locally 2) full access to history offline 3) ability to commit offline 4) you can stiff use the P4 diff tool 5) very nice viz tools on github: http://www.ultrasaurus.com/sarahblog/2009/04/sf-ruby-meetup/#github
