The most obvious is the single point of failure that the centralized server represents.
4545
If that server goes down for an hour, then during that hour nobody can collaborate at all or save versioned changes to anything they're working on.
4646
If the hard disk the central database is on becomes corrupted, and proper backups haven't been kept, you lose absolutely everything -- the entire history of the project except whatever single snapshots people happen to have on their local machines.

If you want to get a copy of an existing Git repository -- for example, a project you'd like to contribute to -- the command you need is `git clone`.

If you're familiar with other VCS systems such as Subversion, you'll notice that the command is "clone" and not "checkout".

If you're familiar with other VCSs such as Subversion, you'll notice that the command is "clone" and not "checkout".

This is an important distinction -- instead of getting just a working copy, Git receives a full copy of nearly all data that the server has.
6262
Every version of every file for the history of the project is pulled down by default when you run `git clone`.
6363
In fact, if your server disk gets corrupted, you can often use nearly any of the clones on any client to set the server back to the state it was in when it was cloned (you may lose some server-side hooks and such, but all the versioned data would be there -- see <<ch04-git-on-the-server#_getting_git_on_a_server>> for more details).

If you rename a file in Git, no metadata is stored in Git that tells it you renamed the file.

However, Git is pretty smart about figuring that out after the fact -- we'll deal with detecting file movement a bit later.
