Distributed SCM
A distributed SCM tool (abbreviated: a DSCM tool) is designed to support a model in which each repository is loosely coupled to many others. Each repository contains a complete set of metadata describing one or more projects. These repositories may be located almost anywhere. Individual developers only need access to their own repositories, not to a central one, in order to commit changes.
Distributed SCMs provide mechanisms for propagating changes between repositories.
Distributed SCMs are in contrast to centralised SCMs. Mercurial is a DSCM.
Some distributed SCMs include (incomplete list):
