You’re still treating code as text which it isn’t (in the same way you wouldn’t treat JSON as text) it’s actually more like an AST.

I love jj and think virtually every git user should switch to it, but I don't think it treats text as an AST. What do you mean?

Ugh you're right. There was a new AST-based version control system that came out a month ago and I couldn't remember the name. I asked an LLM what the name was and repeated the answer the LLM gave me without checking (facepalm).

Thanks for the correct link! AST-based version control sounds like a great idea.

No, it doesn't.
