Well we need a master as an integration point for building deployment packages, which means that you need a central host anyway.

Github is usually just this thing for people.

You can have a master branch without necessarily having a central server.

Yes but how does our integration server know which one of our 180 dev workstations has the latest tip of the master branch?

Add the integration server as a remote.

the integration server has it's own repo that you push 'latest tip' to

That's a poor solution as there is no way to know how much of the product is actually on that repo...

Not quite sure what you mean, you will have whatever branches you assign to it.

This needs an answer.
