Sharing git repos is the thing I'm interested in. Obviously you wouldn't store your code on some random's server, you'd self host or use one you trust and then anyone else could access it with their account from their instance is the dream
Git is already a distributed system. That's its main advantage over older systems like SVN which used a client-server model. The thing is that a lot of people don't understand distributed systems and kinda pushed it back into a client-server model with services like Github.
Discovery is the main issue that I think federation would solve. It's the missing piece of a lot of distributed systems.
