No, git is capable of using dumb storage (HTTP/DAV only, but everybody
has that nowadays). It requires some preparation on the server side,
setup for writing is non-trivial, and Bazaar may be more efficient
than git if you are using dumb protocols, though. (Hard though that
last may be to believe!)
This is not considered a feature by git users. Why it is considered a
feature by Bazaar users and developers, I don't know. :-)
