 From what I understand, a "distributed" source control means each 
developer gets his own _repository_, not just a working copy. This means 
you can commit to your own repo and even accept patches (either from the 
master repo, other developer's repo, or from a 3rd party). In Linux 
analogy, each developer can become an Alan Cox and maintain his own -ac 
line.

 From what I understand, CVSup is a tool to mirror the repository. It 
doesn't allow each copy of the repository gets independently developed, 
and then transferring around the modifications, or does it?
