It solves problems that you dont encounter if you are asking that question. I’ve lost a literal year or more of my life, in aggregate, to rebasing changes against upstream that could have been handled automatically by a sufficiently smart VCS.

An alternative explanation is that I already have a tool that helps me with these situations. The question was a bit rhetorical, because the vast majority of devs don't care what language many of their tools are written in or what algos are used.

A different example, Go's MVS algo can be considered much better for dependency management. What are your thoughts on the SAT solver being replaced in your preferred language tooling? It would mean the end of lock files

If you have a tool for better rebasing, I’d love to hear it.
