In my last job I used mercurial, which is also a distributed version
control system, (back then git support was not as good on windows) to
handle branch-by-feature.
The rest of the team were using Team Foundation Server, but branching
and merging just doesn't work as well on such a centralized system,
whereas it is the standard way of working on distributed systems.
It also came in handy when working on projects that have nothing to do
with visual studio solutions. Trying to work on a python project was a
nuisance in TFS, but a breeze with mercurial.
Branching by feature is a good way to do things if you have to work on
big features at the same time as small features and bug fixes, otherwise
it can be tricky to check in or merge in just the small features and bug
fixes, and I wouldn't dream of using TFS for that.
Even if the rest of the team uses something centralized source control,
git, mercurial or darcs are still handy tools for a single user to use
locally.
You can still use them in a centralized way though, and push works as
well as pull. I don't really see how the Kanban "pull" relates much to
the dvcs "pull" though. I guess the deployment team could "pull" stuff
from the dev teams repository, but its more of a coincidence that the
word pull is used, rather than some profound conceptual link.
