By calling it "repos", they're trying to capitalize on the popularity of VCS repositories, but these don't have their history implicitly tracked the way Automerge does, just explicitly tracked by committing and pushing.

I think it's cool, but I still see CRDTs as very niche.

I also want "local-first" but what I really want is something closer to how traditional desktop apps just open up, edit, and save files, not some real time collaboration that is already set up before I add my first collaborator.
