Last I tried it (a couple years ago), repositories got corrupted. I'd like something to replace darcs, but so far I haven't found it.

  Well, for a project explicitly announced as experimental (there's even a blinking paragraph on nest.pijul.com), two years is quite a while. The repository of Pijul itself got corrupted several times, but the last time was certainly more than a year ago.

    Last I tried it (in November), repositories got corrupted.[0] I wish Carnix would just use Git instead, but I get why that's not happening. [0]: https://nest.pijul.com/pmeunier/carnix/discussions/39 https://nest.pijul.com/pmeunier/carnix/discussions/39

      This is a network error, not a corruption error. I agree the CLI is not yet stable.

        I guess it was caused by a network error, but it still ended up with the repository in a corrupt state (with the patches "existing" but invisible).

    While that's a reasonable position in some ways I certainly don't get the impression that I should assume Pijul is not up to the most fundamental guarantee of an SCM: not losing my code. A page telling me why I should use Pijul probably should explain that I shouldn't use it for anything that matters in the most trivial of ways and yours doesn't. https://pijul.org/manual/why_pijul.html https://pijul.org/manual/why_pijul.html

      > the most fundamental guarantee of an SCM: not losing my code. Yeah. It's not terribly useful, even as a research VCS if i end up with corrupted repositories.
