The fact that you can quickly try doing it several different ways
without affecting the "official repo" is a big plus.  There's no
reason anyone should take my word for this, but I didn't really "get
it" about DVCSes until I actually tried using Git for a while.
Something about it changes the user experience drastically in ways
that are simply not obvious until you've gotten used to it.
