So I recently saw this quite sensible workflow with #jj : https://infosec.town/notes/a8i51xfqm8iy0e5w (thx @blake ).
In git this would probably map to something like a HEAD that tracks many brances at once, and you'd pick the actual destination branch upon each commit.
Are there good ways to do this comfortably with plain git? (I.e., without having a megascript that just premerges everything to simulate the "multihead".)
I've released got-portable 0.113
There's no -portable specific changes in this release, it's just tracking got-0.113
