    I am personally surprised that TFA didn't mention either jj or Sapling [0] given its emphasis on how both Git and svn were both made to be backwards compatible!

    Lots to digest here! I have been keeping an eye on Pijul so it is cool to see some of its features implemented in jj. Sapling[0], similarly, is a new VCS tool out there which can work with a git repo. It also has anonymous branches, no staging area, supports stacked commits and can track the history of a commit over time. I've been using a similar workflow to the article's author: git with a UI to handle commits of hunks of a file to group related changes. My working branch often has unrelated changes that get tossed from branch to branch as I am able to commit. I haven't figured out where these new tools fit into my workflow yet, but I am glad there's new options that will help making working on a project more flexible and organized.

    yep both extended it and have versions that can work against GitHub/git servers.

    sapling scm from meta has I think the best cli and VS code UX https://sapling-scm.com/

    jj from google is also mercurial derived with very similar cli features like histedit and has support for deferring conflict resolution https://github.com/martinvonz/jj

    As somebody who has actually been using Sapling (because it provides a much saner UI and mental model than git), the git compatibility of Sapling is at best so-so. It feels more like a stopgap solution while they're evolving their own backend (which I'm pretty sure they use internally, because git just doesn't scale to FB monorepo size and doesn't support their rebase-on-push operation). LFS flat-out doesn't work with Sapling. Force pushing after an amend or rebase is still cumbersome, because you need to explicitly specify (again) the branch you are pushing to. And I'm not sure how bad the file descriptor problem still is that you have (had?) with large repos or submodules [1]; there was a new release recently, but I haven't actually stress-tested that.

    [1] At least some of that may be due to file descriptor leaks: https://github.com/facebook/sapling/issues/464
