I don't know if you are aware of Pijul. It claims to have solved some issues with git merge. It is one of the tools i want to study, use and test extensively at some point.
No, but from a quick glance it looks like an alternative to git? There might be value in studying their approach. But any solution I’ll be working on will have to fully work/integrate with a regular git workflow.
Oh, if operating within git boundaries is a requirement, then a different version control system is no good.
The claim is, that pijul's merge of code is much better and simpler than git. Merges are idempotent and associative if i remember correctly. It cannot get much better than that.
The reality is that most people are using git at the moment. I am looking to create a product that I'll be able to market and sell (rather something that I have fun R&Ding), so the git boundary is a requirement.
