One question - what does locking a file mean in a distributed VCS like Pijul?
- pmeunier 5y agoNothing. However, one could use a central server holding locks on identifiers from the distributed copies. Not mathematically elegant, but fast and convenient in some cases.
- alkonaut 5y agoSame as it does with binaries in git: you lock them in the central repo. Git supports this with Git-LFS. Without one blessed/central repo you can’t have meaningful locking obviously, but almost every git user works with a centralized repo.
