Do you think it's possible in the next few years or so that agents will improve to the point that some of approval work can be offloaded to them?

True, I do wonder if we focused more on the parallelism aspect with mounts that it would resonate with people more. Thanks for the thoughts!

It's also made for humans as well :) We have some nice TUI stuff in the CLI that you might like. Check it out if you're curious and let me know if you have any thoughts.

Agents in the cloud (and locally) need to have a full repo, even if they only need a small percentage of a repo to make a change. You can also imagine if changes are being made in …

Mostly through networked file system mounts with FSKit/FUSE backing when working on tasks in parallel. May be applicable for human facing tools but I think workflows there are alre…

Happy to describe or answer questions here. It's a version control system (like Git/GitHub) designed for agents. Some specific things that make it different than git are a simplifi…

I do think hosting is an important part of the VCS story. I agree that hg and jj and sapling are capable of being front ends to a google3 like backend GitHub like thing to support …

A good tingle or bad tingle? haha

Good question, the files are grabbed on demand from the server so the agent can fetch everything it needs to run tests, a dev server, or anything it does normally. Now this might b…

I do wonder how far you can make git work like google3. Partially why I'm making Oak is because I think it might be hard to impossible to implement the necessary features for monor…

> Why would an agent (without fine tuning or oak-specific context) be faster with oak than it is with git or jj? A large part comes from mounts. Being able to use FSKit/FUSE to mak…

"download everything" means that you don't have to do a full or partial clone of the repo to make a change. You can imagine agents running in the cloud need to spin up and access t…

Could probably build a Git backend at some point for people to use kind of like how jj does it. Right now my goal with this is to see what's possible natively if we don't try to bu…

Great point, the readme for this repo is not great right now and we have a bunch to improve on that people have pointed out. Thanks!

Actually this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34439461 contains some great discussion about JamHub if people are curious. I changed the name from jamsync to jamhub. :) Partial…

Definitely agree and great points. This is going to be a very busy space in the next year. haha I've never used ClearCase but my friend told me about mounting VOBs in ClearCase so …

Agree we should definitely support offline flow. You can download the binary manually if you would like [1]. Although the offline/self-hosted flow isn't fully tested right now, wou…

Totally agree with everything. Definitely will be hard to get people to switch. Also love the monorepo idea you mentioned. It should totally be possible to keep the benefits of a m…

I think what makes FUSE/FSKit great here is that agents usually only need to see the file metadata + read a handful of actual files, rather than some applications needing read many…

I love jj! Martin is really awesome and love his work. I know they're using a VFS backing inside Google for their monorepo, wonder if we'll get some of those cool features on the o…

Thank you! The bet we're making is that agents will need to work on tasks much faster and with more parallelism than humans do with Git right now so these performance metrics will …

I'm also secretly a massive fan of Dr. Hipp and his work on FossilSCM [1]. I love a bunch of his design decisions there and wanted to apply them to a new system. [1] https://fossil…

Haha I wish, but I've been working on VCS's separate from git for a while now. Although I do love git, I've wondered for years before agents if something could be made using someth…

Yes Lore looks awesome! I was previously working on a VCS for gamedevs -- that space definitely needs something better than Perforce haha. My comment would be that I think you need…

Sick, looks great!
