alt Hacker News> stacked diff workflow pioneered by Phabricator
Ahem, pioneered by gerrit. But actually, I'm almost certain even that wasn't original art. I think gerrit just brought it to git.

Gerrit was forked from Rietveld. Not sure if Rietveld or Gerrit are better though.

To my knowledge, stacked diffs were first done in the Linux kernel as stacks of patches sent over email. From there they spread to Google and Facebook. (Source: I worked on Facebook's source control team from 2012-2018 and did a lot of work to enable stacked diffs there.)
