People are quick to dismiss this, but I think it's a fish-in-water kind of thing, where they are so used to the normal git flow, they can't see any way that it might be non-ideal. I am excited about the promise of patch-based VCs. In theory they are clearly a better, more flexible model, that is a closer match to how we actually think of changes. As an example, the branch-free model of this post just falls out naturally, w/o the need to rebase at the end. However, we're still missing a great implementation to make this promise a practical reality (perhaps the upcoming version of Pijul will be that implementation?).
