This new brilliant idea that agents need something different/better than git is simply ridiculous.

The problems of scale we're encountering are because bad developers are deploying bad quantities of bad agents against bad repos.

Vibe-coded repos occupy GB of space, utterly useless PRs are opened and closed due to conflicts with other useless PRs, and it turns out git is the problem!

You're not wrong, but GitHub can only control what they can control. They cannot hold everyone at gun point and make them stop vibe coding. They also cannot shutdown Anthropic/OpenAI - you'll have to wait for their A/OAI's debts to come due for that one.

I thought Actions (for free repos) was the main culprit, no?
