Don't most people actually end up using git in a centralised manner though? eg the rise of github.

I can totally see git is ridiculously powerful, and general purpose. I just wish it'd default to what most people want a bit more.

"Distributed" is not the same as "ad hoc". In virtually all workflows, whether using distributed or centralized RCS, there will be a master copy. The difference between distributed and centralized is whether that master copy is the only copy.
