That would be the most widely useful functionality, upon which other features can be layered. If the simple functionality can't be used alone, and you have to buy into a more complicated model, then it makes the tool less broadly useful.
Git actually provides a pretty good experience if you have a remote that's always online. I can push and pull branches around to get between all my different devices. GitHub is usually up.
What I would be interested in, is a remote I can host from my house, instead of the cloud. I could leave the public key on my profile and others can checkout the repository.
