This document discusses the benefits of switching from a centralized version control system like Subversion to a distributed version control system (dVCS). It lists three main reasons to switch: distributed version control allows developers to work offline and merge changes later, enables multiple remote repositories so development happens on many machines, and places trust in developers rather than a central authority. While there are some minor limitations, the document concludes that a dVCS is clearly superior and the team should make the switch.

1. Our Version Control System
is
SHOULD BE
Subversion

2. Goal:
You will see that
A dVCS is irrefutably
better than Subversion

4. What is a distributed Version Control System?
Testing
Version
Deploy
Repo

5. Reason #1

6. Reason #2

7. Reason #3

8. Limitations

9. Conclusion
We should switch to
a distributed VCS.
Three huge benefits, a
couple very minor limitations.
