Well, git and hg works around a different model than that of cvs and svn.
There is no "master repository" and "committing to a master repository"
makes little sense with these tools.  Under this paradigm, every developer
will have a private repository and will be able to pull or clone from JWE's
repository (you could call JWE's repo the "master repo" but, in principle,
it will be one repository like the others, besides the fact that John will
use it for making the releases).

Git has a git-push command that allows using it in a cvs- or svn-like
manner, but I think we would better asking JWE to pull the changes from our
repositories instead of falling back to the old version-control paradigm.
