also, demonstrating a marked improvement in the experience.

it really does seem like we all gonna be using jj soon enough

I recall pijul.org that was another working prototype of better git

and I wonder how much overlap is there in the way they have made the improvements.

Jujutsu has "first class conflicts", but it's different from Pijul's "theory of patches". As far as I know, the other big stuff like "working copy is a commit" and the "operation log" (which allows for `jj undo`, safe concurrency, etc) is not present in Pijul. The approaches to Git interop are very different.

pijul is one of the projects that I’d just sponsor a team for a few years if I was a megacorp or a government research agency because it’s just so damn cool in theory, but has too many rough edges in day to day practice (IOW I’d like to try it but would need pijul colocate for it to make sense)

[ivanb]

Supposedly, Pijul doesn't have the "force-push to trunk" problem. This alone makes it interesting.

[fiddlerwoaroof]

pijul uses a completely different model of version control than git (stores diffs rather than snapshots). And so the cost of switching and interoperation is a bit higher than jj which basically acts like a nice UI over git.
