'''Distributed revision control''' (or '''Distributed Version Control (Systems) (DVCS)''', or '''Decentralized Version Control''') is a fairly recent innovation in [[Computer software|software]] [[revision control]]. It provides some significant advantages over the more traditional centralized approach to revision control, and it has some defining characteristics that separate it from centralized systems. However, the line between distributed and centralized systems is graying in some regards, especially since DVCSs can be used in a "centralized mode".
