"Distributed" is not equivalent to "peer to peer".

to centralized version control systems (like Subversion)
where you have and can have only single server with full repository.
Setting up server (git, smart HTTP, ssh) is not that hard.

With "smart" HTTP transport support there is no need for any
firewall-busting.
