The main site mentions being able to "mount" a branch, vs. cloning a new repo or using git worktrees. And messageless commits for intermediate work. Besides that tho I don't see a compelling reason to ditch git, but looks interesting enough that I want to keep an eye on it
What’s wrong with worktrees? To me that is exactly what mounting a branch would be. I use them a fair amount.
Edit: I see people bringing up lazy file checkouts in conjunction with mounting a branch. For some of the enormous repos people work in this makes sense to me.
worktrees are cool, i find i need some bash aliases to like them as a human.
> messageless commits for intermediate work
Would this be like `git commit --allow-empty-message`?
I've heard of this before but never tried it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gitfs
