The big problem with a distributed architecture wuith regards to project
maintenance is handling data backups.  One of the big bonuses of
centralization of source code is easy backup.  If everything is
distrubted, you have to worry about your local group doing proper backups.
So, if you went a distrubted route, it would probably be a good idea to
make it so that data automatically migrates between servers to a series of
master servers that have the diskspace and the backup equipment to back it
all up, or provide as part of the installation describe how to do all of
the backups.
