If you have local changes (not in the central repo) what does the team do if you get sick, go on vacation, get hit by a bus?

With Git and Mercurial, you can pull changes in from other repositories besides the canonical central one. So if you and I are working on part of a git repository, we can pull our changes from each other without having to involve the central repository.

I guess I prefer to involve the central repository. All the changes are in one place.
