Exactly what I was getting at.

Finally somebody that understands distributed version control, and how 
Git could be used. You gave a very good answer indeed. Too many people 
(and companies) are so stead fast in the ways of a client/server version 
control system - like SubVersion. They then wrongly (or not ideal) force 
those ideas onto Git usage. Hence the reason I said it takes a bit or 
"rethinking the problem", and in the end everything becomes quite clear.

For those interested, read the many blobs about how the Linux Kernel 
development is managed. Or even how Git's development itself is managed. 
True distributed workflow models.
