This tool is based on strong mathematical theory of patches, instead of snapshot/commit-based. It seems simpler to reason with, but we’d have to unlearn a lot from Git.
It’s not suitable for big projects yet, but it’s already used by Pijul itself and other Rust components. And it already have its own „Github” called the Nest (because pijul is a bird). Pretty promising imho.
It is indeed being invented. It’s called Pijul: http://pijul.org/
