Where you see this is someone taking home their laptop to continue their
working from home, and not having connectivity to the repository. Or, maybe
flying from one office to another, and want to get some work done on a
plane.
The lack of access to a repository seems to be getting more and more rare.
Besides, most software now needs constant access to a whole field of
servers, so if you don't have Internet connectivity, you simply don't have a
way of even testing your software.
