I wonder whether something like pijul (https://pijul.org) might represent the next step forwards; I am no expert in these things but the patch based approach it takes sounds interesting and potentially very intuitive to work with. I might have to actually give it a go one of these days!

I feel bad for thinking that it's a terrible name, since it's probably a fine name in some other language, and I don't want to be an entitled American English speaker expecting literally everything software related to be in English.

And yet, it's a great tool that I suspect that it will never get traction for precisely that reason. The abundance of options enables people to be shallow enough that a silly-sounding name knocks it out of consideration.

I wonder why the same didn't happen with git. It's really rather rude in English.

Git is like 10x worse and still 'won'.

What's wrong with this name?

As an english speaker, I don’t know how to pronounce it. Git, subversion, sourcesafe, they can all be easily pronounced.
