I choose subversion exactly because, when I started, I read it has a
main repository and on others (I'm guessing git is one of those), the
repository was distributed among users (or something alike).

But, as I said, that was a newbie choice, not really an informed one.
I just wanted to check it out. The control versions systems, that is,
and that's what I meant to recommend, not a particular software.

Maybe we should get this to a new thread, if anyone wishes to?
