I've been using Jujutsu a little and over the weekend lost a bunch of files. I'd been working happily in an anonymous branch. I had a bunch of content in a thirdparty folder that was hidden by .gitignore. I couldn't figure out how to merge my anonymous branch into master. Somehow wound up on the old master and it deleted all of my gitignored files. Then jj status got totally fubar and couldn't complete in under 5 minutes because something something 7500 files (everything that got deleted, it was compiler toolchains).

It was a disaster. Literally the most important thing for any VCS tool is to never ever delete file I don't want deleted. No more Jujutsu for me.

Someday someone will invent a VCS tool that doesn't suck. Today is not that day.
