A bigger advantage isn't necessarily the 'distributedness', but
that you can do offline commits, or review commit logs, annotate etc
all without a network connection.
It's incredibly useful whilst travelling to be able to keep hacking
on stuff, making a load of commits, reverting stuff, looking up changes etc,
and then sync up when you get network again.
