    Thanks for the link. It looks like this treats files as blobs just like Git, and trees as single objects which fit in memory. Assuming that is a correct understanding, this core ab…

    I've heard that jj has support for non-git backends? Can anyone comment on how difficult it would be to add support for another backend, any docs or examples? I have a project[0] t…

    I'm working on Got, version control like Git, but for files and directories of any size and E2E encrypted. https://github.com/gotvc/got Got is built on Blobcache, which is a genera…

    Me too. Version control is great, it should get more use outside of software. https://github.com/gotvc/got Notable differences: E2E encryption, parallel imports (Got will light up …

    I also wrote a tool for doing this[0], after one of these agents edited a config file outside of the repo it was supposed to work within. I only realized the edit because I have my…

    I personally think that this is the future, especially since such an architecture allows for E2E encryption of the entire database. The protocol should just be a transaction layer …

    I recently released Blobcache v0.0.2. https://github.com/blobcache/blobcache Blobcache is a content-addressed data store for holding application state, and buiding E2EE application…

    I'm a happy bcachefs user. Haven't had any issues on a simple mirrored array, which I've been running since before it was in (and out) of the kernel. It's the best filesystem in 20…

    I work on a project Blobcache, a content addressed store for exposing and consuming storage over the network. It supports full end to end encryption, and offers a minimal API to pr…

    All of those issues can be solved by doing an import of the changed file into the build system's content addressed store, and creating a new version of the entire input tree. You a…
