XITLOG - patch-based merging is now enabled by default
Summary
XIT announces patch-based merging is now enabled by default, claiming it is the first VCS to offer this while remaining git-compatible. The post argues patch-based merging reduces conflicts and circumvents some git limitations, while acknowledging initial patch-generation costs and offering a disable option via xit patch off. It emphasizes that the approach relies on line-level IDs to avoid ambiguity in merges.
