> Git should work the way we think it does!

Hold on, who is "we"? Personally speaking, git works the way I think it does. Granted, I've written my own (simple) libgit2 frontend, so I understand the git internals fairly well, on a high level at least

I haven't looked into pijul, but why is teaching people a new tool more helpful than teaching people how the tool they already use works? (Like the OP blog post does.)

Am I blinded by the knowledge I gained from writing my little tool and learning about git internals? I get that a tool you need to learn the internals of to use is probably a bad tool, but is asking git users to understand the contents of the OP blog post really too much? Maybe I'm just a git fanboy...
