I would have two pieces of advice: (1) Starting by explaining that Pijul works with patches probably isn't the best place to start. It might be true, but most people are going to think "but if I do 'git diff' I can get a patch, so it's not really any different." I would start with explaining the consequences of this e.g. better merging, and so on. (2) Basically take all the questions asked on this discussion, and put them into an FAQ together with their answers. These are the same questions everyone else is going to be asking too. Even if these questions are misguided, that still doesn't change the fact that's what everyone's going to be asking.
