Puppet is about centralizing administration. If you have dozens/hundreds of client nodes to administer, then you clearly gain by being able to make changes in one central location (the puppetmaster) without having to bother with pushing those changes to all your client nodes yourself. You could devise a mechanism to push/pull your repository to your various machines automatically, but then you'd be re-inventing the wheel, not to mention missing out on the functionality that Felix Frank listed. I you have even a modest number of nodes (e.g., ten) to administer, you're probably complicating things unnecessarily by forgoing a puppetmaster.
