On first download/checkout then I assume I'd download the tree snapshot and it wouldn't replay the patches at all? Local caching would help with repeated checkouts, but most of the time I use Git I'm moving around, so I'm not sure how often I would benefit from that. That also seems like it would lose some verifiability for checkout integrity (?), but maybe that's not a big deal, I'm not sure in practice how much that matters for Git. Repo size also comes to mind on this if snapshots/caches are happening regularly/automatically, since that would mean Pijul is storing both the patches and the end states rather than computing the patches on the fly. But I guess snapshots wouldn't need to be automatic -- I'm not sure how often people actually check out arbitrary commits, maybe you could get away with only caching certain points?
