Someone should invent a decentralized version control system so we can avoid these kinds of widespread events.

git itself is not enough for teams to work together - you need to asynchronously communicate for the whole thing to come together. Thats what GitHub/Lab/ea bring in value.

>>lionko+Y6
Someone should write a local git+ssh service (+ email client) that simulates an upstream by hosting git repos locally, emailing all pushed commits/branches/tags to other team members, and keeping the hosted repos up-to-date via the emailed updates from others.

Bonus points for a local HTTP service that provides an optional GitHub-like experience in the browser, with comments/ branch reviews/etc. federated through emailed messages (and represented as commits on meta-repos).

With that data model, the primary remaining challenge would be setting up repos on a new machine -- perhaps BitTorrent could help :)
