-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----The difference comes after the merge. Suppose Andrew didn't push everything to Linus. Then new patches come in, both trees change. In this situation it is very time consuming with subversion to work out the changes which still have to go from Andrew's tree to Linus' tree.

Question is then, what about keeping a main trunk with the vanialle
release, and each dev has its own branch. now at a certain point you
have to merge them. Now where is the difference between a central rep
and a de-central one.
At day X, patches from Andrew's tree have to go to Linus tree and from
his tree into the new vanialla kernel. right?
Somehow I can't see the difference here.
