> For the defense of git add and the index, I actually personally enjoy it. I'm not criticizing it. In fact, I'm pointing out how, if you like the index/staging workflow, you can have it in jj with much more power (your index is version controlled). Oh, if you thought this line was the criticism: > After I'd been using jj, having a separate concept called "index" and a separate concept called "stash" suddenly seemed ridiculous. I'm not saying the index/stash workflow is ridiculous. I'm saying that having them as separate constructs, and giving them names, is silly. The index need not be distinct from your overall graph.
