It's so cool that Git is considering first class change IDs!! That's huge! This sounds similar to what we had at Facebook to track revisions in Phabricator diffs. Curious if anyone knows the best place to read about this?
The fundamental problem is that git doesn't track branches in any sane way. Maybe it would be better to fix that? Fossil remembers what branch a commit was committed on, so the task branch itself is a change ID. That might be tricky to solve while also allowing git commands to mess with history of course. Fossil doesn't have that problem.
