Well, the whole idea of a distributed system is to have it distributed. This 
central repository would only be some sort of "conceptual compatibility 
layer". The best things would be to have someone that manages official 
branch. This person would fetch patches published by different contributors 
and maintain the official tree. Distributed systems are meant to work this 
way. But unfortunately I doubt such person with the time to do it exists 
right now. But perhaps I'm wrong, it would be nice ;-)

In fact, if we use this ssh tricks we could as well use mercurial on 
www.globulation2.org as it would ease integration with the rest of the 
website (for instance to do automatic builds or doxygen)
