With git, there are infinite workflows possible - you aren't forced to have a concept of "central server" and "clients" the way you would with SVN. Mercurial's called a DVCS too, so presumably it's possible to operate on a pure-peering model with no central server at all; how does that tie in with the inability to alter some commits?

There is no inability to do so in hg either, you just need some --force flags ("hg phase -f -d " should be enough in almost all cases).
