Definitely agree that Git is mediocre-at-best VCS tool. This has always been the case. But LLMs are finally forcing the issue. It’s a shame a whole generation programmers has only used Git/GitHub and think it’s good.

Monorepo and large binary file support is TheWay. A good cross-platform virtual file system (VFS) is necessary; a good open source one doesn’t exist today.

Ideally it comes with a copy-on-write system for cross-repo blob caching. But I suppose that’s optional. It lets you commit toolchains for open source projects which is a dream of mine.

Not sure I agree that LSP like features need to be built in. That feels wrong. That’s just a layer on top.

Do think that agent prompts/plans/summaries need to be a first class part of commits/merges. Not sure the full set of features required here.
