Agreed. The assumption _is_ heavy and I even have the same sample set around. But only if you look at either small companies/freelancers/startups (Yes, I know where I'm posting this).

For corporations (read: Process, more process, and some paperwork) that I had to work with this would not be possible. Deploying this strange new thing instead of clearcase/perforce/team services internally? Hard to sell maybe, but possible. Putting your source up somewhere else, out of control: No way.

Especially for verticals where the law heavily influences your ability to share just about any data (depending on country and laws this might include insurance companies, banks, energy provider, probably quite some more).
