You've been so welcoming in the jj community. Thank you.

I don't understand how absorb works in your example. Why would the commit "z" be affiliated with some random documentation changes you come across and fix in the wip commit.

All that I see is it makes it easier to make small refinements to preciously altered lines ?

Super excited for jj.... Almost want to find a work opportunity to promote it. Been a refreshing tool I've adopted in 2024 I'm happy about.

It's not? z is the root pseudo-commit.

Well yes, the point is to untangle working copies with various unrelated changes (usually fixups) which should really go into older commits.
