version control - Anyone use Distributed VCS in a corporate environment? -

I am eager to hear about people's experiences with distributed version control in a corporate environment.

Specifically:

1. Did it become difficult to adopt?
2. Now it's in place, is it well liked?
3. What model are you using (hub and speaker? Some more?)
4. Allow you to use the hub; Is there a complaint problem with pushing on a central server?
5. I want to hear that someone has non-programmers working in this environment, especially the artist and those with whom VCS may be a little challenging. Does this work for them?

1 - No, because we just told people that they used it If you have no control over your VCS and your staff, then you have major problems ...

2 - Okay, going from SVN to Git, I would say half of the developers Has complained about the complexity. The other half appreciated the power of growth.

3 - We have designated a server as central store by the conference.

4 - None - I mean people are not considered to be the right server, so their work is complete, so can not be integrated, QAed, etc. If they can not follow the guidelines for such things ... like the # 1 above.

5 - This is a good question. We encourage our non-technical employees to use the GUI tool wherever possible, and it seems that things are very simple for them. Many developers use the command line, as long as they are seeing branch history or some other visual reasons.
