On the contrary. With git I can commit all I want in the train
without internet connectivity, and when my laptop gets back online
it can *automatically* push to the central repository (eg via some
NetworkManager controllerd 'ppp-up like script) And at the central
repository, git hooks can trigger building, testing, packaging, etc.

It can tag in the repository when the build succeeds, and a simple
git fetch on the clients can tell me about the build status without
needing to go to some website and interacting with ajax.
