Pijul Hybrid
Hybrid patch-based/snapshot-based system for distributed versioning
Pijul is a modern patch-based version control system that addresses many shortcomings found in existing tools, based on a mathematical theory of collaborative work. In order to ease the transition from existing tools, and increase utility in a wider set of use cases, this project will work on a better transition story from other tools like Git and Mercurial, and improve tooling around it. In particular, it will deliver a hosting platform called Nest which has features which will be quite different from other hosting services. Pijul is able to apply patches independently from each other, meaning that (reorderable) patches can be used in place of legacy pull/merge requests everywhere. This should makes most workflows vastly simpler, as well as result in cleaner code bases.
