Significant issue IMHO.

I'm not sure it would be fair to blame de-cohesivity on<br>
the technology, though. Even if distributed revision<br>
control makes it technically easier to have forks, I<br>
think the real pressure against forks comes from<br>
policy issues, i.e. understanding the severe drawbacks<br>
of forking. It's possible that using distributed revision<br>
control would make things worse but without evidence<br>
I'm not really convinced.<br>
