Would it be accurate to describe Jujutsu as "a Mercurial-inspired frontend for Git"?

Also, another question I have for people who have used Jujutsu: Is it focused on interactive use, or is it also convenient to use for automatic/non-interactive use?

For example, situations like:

* A CI/CD pipeline that periodically adds stuff to the repo, or a pipeline that modifies files when triggered by specific events.

* Server setup scripts that clone a repo with common config and then make a new commit after applying patches for host-specific changes.

IMO its inspired by the best parts of git, hg, and darcs. jj split alone is worth the price of admission IMO

I haven't done a TON of scripted use of jj, but when I have the built in templating has come in clutch. If you want a command to return in a certain format (or include/exclude certain metadata) it's usually easier- and probably more future proof- to tweak the jj command's template than to parse the string in your script.
