That's not a git thing though. You can totally have multiple remotes and the remotes are just git repositories themselves. Git is 100% decentralized. There is technically nothing stopping you from having multiple remotes.

That may be how you use it, but that's not baked into git. See my previous response. There's a bunch of FUD in this thread for some reason.

Otherwise you get git. You're describing svn.

And nobody ever forked a project, and lived happily ever after, then end.
