Jujutsu: A Next Generation Replacement for Git

why does Git need to be replaced?

This. It's not like we are looking for something slightly better than git in some opinionated way. There's plenty better than git. Mercurial is better than git and as old as git. Git won. Everybody uses git. Everyone who knows, how to use git, is mostly comfortable using git. At this stage we either need something ground-breaking (and I don't quite imagine what this cold be in the context of VCS - even truly semantic conflict resolution barely cuts it, while simultaneously being pure unattainable magic), or I don't think this is gonna float. I don't need it. Who needs it?

It's a relatively easy thing to adopt something you don't need, when you are the only person involved. But VCS is pretty much in the same category as instant messaging and social network platforms are. In a sense, maybe it is a social network platform. I don't see it happening and I highly doubt I would want it to happed, even if I knew this jj stuff better.

As far as I can tell, Jujutsu solves this problem by being compatible with Git.

I'm not sure I see what problem it even solves at all. Like, really, what you cannot achieve with git that you would with this thing?
