What are your coolest/most unusual hacks using a distributed version control system? [closed]

Question

I have been working with git for a few months and I find that most of the things that have transformed my everyday work for the better can be attributed to the flexibility and lack of enforced default policy in a distributed VCS.

Quite a few people seem to have felt the same way and have built upon this kind of flexibility

• I have read quite a few reports from users synchronizing their home directories across different machines.
• IkiWiki is built upon source control and it can be used as a distributed wiki.
• A few distributed bug/issue tracking systems exist that build upon git (not sure about others DVCSs).

What are some cool ideas you have implemented using your favorite DVCS?
