Pijul's theory of patches is very appealing, conceptually. IIRC both Pijul and Darcs are implemented in Rust by the same author.

- egypturnash 6y agohttps://pijul.org/manual/why_pijul.html https://pijul.org/manual/why_pijul.html has a few notes on why one might choose Pijul over Darcs, along with a lot of text on how it’s different from Git.
- nieve 6y agoIs Pijul still corrupting repositories? Not many months ago the answer on here from devs was that despite the confident assertions about its advantages it's not actually ready for production and it was your problem if it lost code. I was very interested in Pijul until that popped up, but as I said at the time the first duty of an SCM is not losing your code. I really hope this changes in the not too distant future since I'm fond of Darcs.
- 9214 6y agoThis is an interesting and important thing you pointed out, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I cannot answer your question since I'm on the edge of trying Pijul myself, and only briefly read about the patch-based model that it uses.
