There are more features we are missing -- we just don't know about them
:-)
For example, currently if I have a patch and somebody reviews it and
opines that I have to change foo to bar; then I resubmit the patch. How
do they find out whether I actually changed foo to bar? Currently there
are two alternatives:
1. trust that I did it
2. review the whole patch again
With a distributed SCM, I could just patch the code and commit a new
revision in my branch to just change foo to bar, and then the reviewer
can check that I truly did what he wanted.
Another easy thing to do is to track the current HEAD in a branch of
mine. Keeping patches up to date in parallel with other developments is
easier.
