Actually, I've found that there's an excellent reason to use DVCS:
managing local changes to upstream software. I learned the basics of
Mercurial last weekend and found it to be a nice improvement over
svn, at least for that use case. There is even a built-in tool to
pull updates from CVS, svn, and others into a Mercurial repository,
and it handles merging MUCH better than svn. I plan to migrate all
my own company's private-branch projects to Mercurial for that reason.
