> - Git is line-oriented and has no notion of semantic diffs and semantic merges. This makes it a raw tool when working with, ironically, source code. Compare this with Pijul as well! I've been working on legit.pijul.com (you can try it, but nothing is ready!), which leverages byte-level storage to get higher-level diffs (I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but finare storage granularity gives you more flexibility to compute diffs). That said, Git isn't actually line-oriented, 3-way merge is. But then even a byte-oriented 3-way merge would give the same shitty merges as Git.
