so i think the thing that everyone building these git alternatives is missing is a multi-repo story - unless the expectation is that everyone is going to start operating out of monorepos

i've settled on all of this context attached to issues in a project management system and referenced from commits

it works just fine - its not like your agent cannot read your issue tracker

Maybe there’s a case to be made for a system that combines issue tracking, Slack conversations, PR reviewing, angent harness, and collaborative editing in a single tool. And Zed could make a nice system to build that tool on top of.
I came across the conclusion here since a change sometimes spans several repos, per-repo history optimizes the wrong target.
I've built some skills to help work with multiple repos, but it's really annoying how e.g. repo-specific .claude/ configs are only read when you start the agent in the repo folder. There's a ton of low hanging fruit to improve dev experience.
