Regarding the rebase thing, I guess it's more a matter of habit. Stacked branches indeed may be tedious and may be annoying to rebase, agree. I implemented a shell script to rebase branch trees on top of a new base that would cover stacked branches as well. It covered all my needs like resolving conflicts, concluding or aborting the branch tree rebase and so on. Of course, it would be nice to have such a right-done thing right in git. But as of now, if I understand what jj is, it seems like I can shell-script some of its features myself. Still a happy git user.
