alt Hacker News> So anything that would be destructive in git (e.g. rebase, pull, squash, etc) can be undone.
It’s possible to recover from these with git reflog, though.

From my understanding git reflog works on refs and jj op log works on fhe repo as a whole.
E.g. if I rebase some stacked branches then I want to undo it, with git I would reset each branch separately.
With jj you can timetravel the state of the repo in ine command

`jj undo` compared to what exactly?
I've used git for years, and used reflog once or twice.
I've used jj for only a year, and have used "jj undo" countless times.
There's a huge benefit to having a simpler mental model.
