BitTorrent's Creator Says Git Is Broken — 470 Lines of Python Prove It

Bram Cohen (creator of BitTorrent) just published Manyana - a version control proof-of-concept built on CRDTs where merges never fail. 470 lines of Python. Public domain. The conflict presentation alone is a generation ahead of Git's opaque / markers. Jujutsu (jj) has quietly accumulated 27,000+ GitHub stars and a Google engineering team behind it. It wraps Git's storage layer with a radically better UX: working copy as a commit, no staging area, native undo, and a query language for commits called revsets. The agentic stress test: Git was designed for humans making ~10 commits per day.
