You seem to be faster at writing than at reading, I already answered your point 1: > it becomes fairly clear if you try to cherry-pick more than twice from the same branch, and find conflicts on the way. Or when you want to "undo" a merge, and push that undoing to a remote repository. Any team with enough people, or working at a fast enough pace, knows this doesn't work in Git. Pijul completely solves it by thinking in an entirely different way (changes instead of snapshots). This is not an implementation detail at all, the two mental models are extremely different. About your point 2, what can I say? You picked the example, and now that you're not liking it anymore, you are trying to blame it on me? I don't find that fair.
