There is almost certainly a backup but it is done by the same 
organization.  The organization has been highly reliable over the 
years but it would be useful to have independent backups as well (e.g. 
via rsync) in case something bad happens to the organization.

An additional value offered by Hg or Git is that organizations can 
manage their private changes to libtiff using the same tool. It would 
not be necessary to copy libtiff files into some other version control 
system in order to version control local changes to libtiff.
