When using the native network protocol, work can happen remotely. (But the native protocol is quite new, and support for "smart" operations is currently limited.) When using the dumb protocols, data is fetched from the remote system and processed locally. Light checkouts are not recommended when the server is on a slow link, but heavyweight checkouts are quite suitable in that situation.
