Pijul can detect when a patch commutes and when it does not. From there it can construct a dependency graph of commits and use that information in various interesting and useful ways. Back when I used Darcs I would somewhat frequently do things like pull these three commits and their decscendants as a sort of pseudo branch that would include everything necessary for a specific line of work but leave everything else behind. To the point of the article when commits are diffs you sort of intuitively think such things should be possible. But because in git commits are snapshots it's not as easy as you would expect it to be.
