Can this handle patch stacks or is this just another pull/merge request model with all the flaws that entails?

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
> What's missing in git is code issues, wikis, discussions, github pages and most importantly, a developer profile network. Radicle adds issue tracking and pull requests. Probably some of those other features as well. On mobile there are buttons on the bottom of the screen in the op link, click those and you get to the issue tracking tab and the pull request tabs etc
But that’s not what parent meant. Those things should be embedded in the git repository itself, in some kind of structure below the .git/ directory. That would indeed make the entire OSS ecosystem more resilient. We don’t need a myriad of incompatible git web GUIs, but a standard way of storing project management metadata alongside version control data. GitHub, Gitea, Gitlab, and this project could all store their da…
Yes, this is how radicle stores this data. ; )

#13I see no information about properties in README.md, and ARCHITECTURE.md is empty.
What are the capabilities?
If a node is down, would other nodes step in? Where's stuff stored? How is it replicated?

#14So it uses git, right? The readme should make that clear.
yeah, the underlying storage layer is git.
There is more information on https://radicle.xyz/ about how it uses git

#15Hi HN. I am the co-founder of the project. If you are interested in how the protocol works under the hood, start here: https://docs.radicle.xyz/ Docs are still WIP though.

Yes, radicle is built on top of git and even uses git as its storage backend for its own data model. [1] has more details on how Radicle depends on git.

https://docs.radicle.xyz/guides/protocol is probably a better resource (but this guide is still Work In Progress)
