LFS sorta works and submodules are just managed by git, and you can create tags with the git CLI just fine.

Hooks are a bigger change, though, for sure.

Sounds like I still need git for much of this, so jj and the things it does is and additional thing to manage. I've been told intermixing them is not a good idea
Sure. Use the tools you like!

At the same time, not everyone requires those features. All I mean to say is, the degree of support is varied out of the things mentioned, not just "no support for any of them."

It's still pre-1.0 software. We'll get there :)

The docs say "no" to support for all of those except tags, which is "partial" because jj can check it ou, but not create them, which hopefully is clear in my comment that "new tags" is still a "no"

I'm going to take the docs for what they say about support over an HN comment

You can trivially run `git tag` and create one, or in your forge and then pull it down. Creating one is not directly supported directly in jj's cli, but if you create a tag, it's in the repo just fine.
right, but then I'm using git, not jj, so why jj?

Why do people believe it's going to replace git if it won't do basic things we need. Why is it hard for jj to create a tag?

It’s not. It’s that there’s no inherent advantage to doing it natively when it works just fine via git. There’s more important things to do first, like many of the things on your list.

It’ll get there! Early days.
