That's just a very complicated way to say "git". There's no blockchain in sight anywhere.

Hey, it’s a chain (or, DAG really, but kinda close) of commits, right?
I mean yeah, but that reminds me of when Facebook launched Libra and they claimed it operated on a blockchain because the core algorithm involved a "chain" of "blocks"...

If you want to call git a blockchain I guess that's fine, but it's not what most people have in mind when they think of "blockchain".

Yeah, it's a stretch and I'm partially joking.
