    The current team I work with wanted to use a distributed repository but I've kept them with Subversion. When I drilled down to the reasons for them wanting a distributed repository it was because they wanted to work as individuals and not as a team. They wanted to keep their code to themselves locally and not share it until the last minute and then complain when it didn't merge well. As with any tool you need to find out why people want to use it. It is better to fix the process (and people) rather than change the toolset to promote bad practice.

    I don't think there is any need for distributed repositories unless you are going somewhere so remote you have no network connection - maybe during a long flight.
