So you'd like Anthropic to update their announcement so it credits Mononoke in addition to crediting Sapling?

Fair enough.

Yes, and I would like it to explicitly say that their data model is very similar to Mononoke's, and avoid even the appearance of the idea that Claude came up with it de novo.

    I didn't think that their article implied Claude had come up with the design.

    I thought it was likely that their team of 7 included ex-Meta and ex-Google people with knowledge of those company's internal version control solutions.

      I think that is exactly what it implied. Essentially, that people had described the task the VCS must achieve, the constraints, the issues with git, and Mythos had toiled away like Rumpelstiltskin and produced Scion 0.1.

    If we s/Claude/Few Meta engineers/, would de novo still hold?
