I've not heard the term "probabilistic tree" and I've having difficulty pulling up references. I suspect it's implemented by subpackage ptree[0]. Do you have resources on what makes probabilistic trees different from hash tables?

FastCDC is the same chunking algorithm used in Got.

Thanks for sharing RocketGit. This is the first time I've heard of it, and yes, it does look like a cool copyleft solution to self-hosted Git.

Another interesting option is Brendan Caroll's got[0], which allows sharing of repositories over INET256[1]. I'm sure there are other P2P approaches to Git, but this one just piqued my interest. Unfortunately it has a naming conflict with OpenBSD's Game of Trees[2].

I work on a project which solves a similar use case.

Got also does E2EE encryption, but it can additionally encrypt branch names from remote servers.

I've been working on a project "Got". Which deals with the LFS problem, mentioned in the post.

Got isn't really trying to do software version control better than Git. It's trying to make general purpose file versioning practical, with a workflow similar to Git's.

In the same space is the key-value store underlying Got: GotKV. https://github.com/gotvc/got/tree/master/pkg/gotkv

It stores encrypted blobs in any content-addressed store, and provides a copy-on-write key-value store API.

Yes there is an `—-override` option you can use to specify the language in which a file should be parsed.

Use the fantastic difftastic instead of git's diff. https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/

difftastic provides similar capabilities in a free tool based on treesitter

If you're looking for a VS Code extension or a GitHub app, check out https://semanticdiff.com/. I'm a co-founder of this project.

If you prefer a CLI tool, check out https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic. It supports more languages, but doesn't recognize when code has been replaced by an equivalent version ("invariances"). So it will show some changes (e.g. replacing a character in a string with an escape sequence) even though they are technically equivalent.

Shameless plug: I've written difftastic[1], a tool that builds ASTs and then does a structural diff of them. You can use it with git too.

It's an incredibly hard problem though, both from a computational complexity point of view, and trying to build a comprehensible UI once you've done the structural AST diff.

There is a diff tool called difftastic: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic

The idea is that it does not show diff based on text change, but on syntastic meaning. For that, it uses tree-sitter.

I think it still shows the trailing comma in the situation as shown in the article, but it's quite different experience than the standard text based diff.
