And that right there is why modern source control systems are
distributed, not centralized. It's so much easier with git; we lost
our central hub at one point, and another dev and I simply pulled from
each other for a bit until we got a new Scaphio online. With
centralized version control, that would have basically meant a
complete outage until the new box was up.
