Conflict resolution is one of my least favorite parts of Git but I don't complain because there ain't no such thing as free lunch.
Does Pijul reduce the number of conflicts that would otherwise be faced by a Git VCS? And if so, to what extent?
Yes it does, because Pijul has an internal model of conflicts. In particular, conflicts happen between two patches, and are solved by a patch.
This means for example that when you solve a conflict on a branch, and pull from the same remote, the conflict won't reappear (no `git rerere` needed).
Or that you can push a conflict resolution to a remote, even if that remote is in another state: as long as the remote has the conflicting patches, the resolution will work.
