Yes and no. That depends on wether "your" repository is the one other
users refer to (a perfectly valid setup under Arch and git -- and I
guess under other distributed VCSes as well). Not that this would be a
good idea for a "big" and "loosely-knit" project, though.
So it's rather that the "commit" of central VCSese is split up into two
operations (commit: working dir --> repo; push: repo --> repo) in
distributed VCSes. On a central VCS, with just one repo, this
differentiation doesn't make kuch sense.
The analogy suggested by re-using commit is quite valid, and afaik all
distributed VCSes went this path (so it seems to be rather compelling).
