#122I like how Pijul has a math-centric approach under the hood. The name needs to be changed if they want to get traction.
It's a pretty weird word for English-speakers, no argument from me there. I don't think I can explain why it's weird, but it is. I don't think that's even in the top five barriers to adoption though.

> Can someone give me a real world example (person a makes X change, person b makes y change etc. etc.) that would work better in Pijul than Git? Simplified example: Persons A and B check out master branch. Person A adds a.txt, commits and pushes. Person B adds b.txt, commits and tries to push and... 1) git will not accept the push because it's not on top of current master branch, person B needs to fetch and merge/re…
This is not really compelling. Pulling and rebasing before a push is standard workflow and lets you test with the new changes before pushing.
I view anything that interferes with a push as a threat to the VCS, since it encourages developers to keep changes local and unavailable to their teammates. The only exception would be direct pushes to main.
