Jujutsu Megamerges and jj Absorb


A really handy approach for splitting apart changes into multiple branches but working on their combination.

A workflow a number of Jujutsu VCS users have landed on when you have multiple (possibly unrelated) streams of work active in a repository goes like this: If you read that linked article, you will see that former colleagues and I ended up doing something very similar to what I describe here, but with a good deal more hassle because Git does not make it nearly as easy as Jujutsu. Thus, when I am making documentation changes in True Myth’s result.ts while also implementing this new feature in a different file, I can just run jj absorb when I hit a point where I want to integrate.
