Mike, a potential DIA contributor, has an epiphany: “It wasn’t until today that I finally realized the advantages of the distributed repository approach. [...] I would very much like to be able to use versionning control to track my changes, but I do not have write access to the Dia CVS repository. With an Arch-based system, however, I would be able to create a local [...] branch for my own development which could later be merged back into the main Dia repository. I found this revelation rather stunning. Especially when combined with intelligent merging. [...] It would appear those wonderful folks over at Ubuntu have made things simpler for me as they have an Bazaar mirror of Dia.”
