Help me understand why #jujutsu #jj is worth using.

I am pretty happy using #git as is. My workflows are generally pretty simple, branch, commit, PR, squash, and merge.

My biggest pain points are when, rarely, a coworker will branch my branch and then I will have to handle the merge after I've rebased -i my branch.

I don't have any issues with git concepts or mental model. I rebase -i a lot, but rarely use the reflog. Only once did I lose any real work.

Learn Git Branching https://lobste.rs/s/2wd2wt #vcs

What's the best way of vendoring a couple hundred gigabytes spread across millions of small files into git? I would need these files mounted with VFS not to pull in the whole thing in CI.

LFS isn't good enough as it breaks down at over a million files in my experience.

I am used to closed solutions for doing that at work, but now I need something publicly available for my own side projects.
