In my opinion, it wil be both semantic code versioning and better support for versioning binary files.

It turns out, both kind of need the same things, and if you do it right, you get better merging with text than Git currently does.

Source: I'm working on the next big VCS. It's not Pijul, though.

Do you have any preliminary material to read through about this VCS?
Just poorly written design documents. https://git.yzena.com/Yzena/Yc/src/branch/master/docs/yar/de... . I'm still hashing out the details of the diff and merge algorithms.

Not much else is done, unfortunately, because this VCS depends on some other software that I'm struggling to write.
