I just had trauma!
I will say that SourceSafe had one advantage: You could create "composite" proxy workspaces.
You could add one or two files from one workspace, and a few from another, etc. The resulting "avatar" workspace would act like they were all in the same workspace. It was cool.
However, absolutely everything else sucked.
I don't miss it.
So it’s a workspace that includes changes from multiple branches at once, like `jj new revset-1 revset-2 revset-3 …` ?
(Git has octopus merges, jj just calls them “merge commits” even though they may have more than two parents)
