It is possible to move one step further: use own store, speak git protocol. In the end, it is about the commit-tree-blob model. I think, the main headwind is the broad decay of interest in computer science topics.

Where can I read on jj merge resolution strategies? LLM links to Arch Linux man page and other random stuff.

Using a different data store breaks compatibility and dramatically increases the friction to switching to it. jj's superpower is that my usage of it is invisible. Right now I'm working on Github projects in jj where none of the other contributors are. Nothing about my usage of jj requires them to change anything they do.

The jj tutorial is useful: https://docs.jj-vcs.dev/latest/tutorial/
