How does dcfs weave compare or relate to what pijul.org is doing?

It's based on patches. I'm perhaps not going to win any friends, but I think that is ill-advised. Patches are great for emailing around, they are a horrible idea for an SCM.

Perhaps I need to write up how weaves work in more detail. Once you get that, you won't want an SCM based on anything else.

By all means, please do. There's a severe lack of material.

Yes, please do! The SCM space is horrible right now. I would love to see prior art.
