I'm pretty sure that Alan knows how the distributed model works. These guys
decided on a using a centralized model, using the repo they wanted, etc etc.
Plenty of discussion was done way long ago, they've been slowly working on
the feasibility of moving everything over to the main choice. Alan's voicing
his concerned about not using a centralized repo by asking that question, I
don't think he was asking for an explanation of how it all works.

I don't think they're going to be using git, since many of the core
developers just dislike it, and that's not going to change with a lot of
back and forth. The best that conversation could be seen as is trolling, and
it degrades from there. Probably best to just drop the git conversation.
