What Comes After Git
East River Source Control argues Git's 2005 design strains under agentic development and is building a Git-protocol-compatible storage engine.
Steve Klabnik of East River Source Control (ERSC) outlines a next-generation version control system that speaks the Git protocol but stores repositories in a custom, horizontally scalable non-Git storage engine. He argues agentic development is ballooning repository sizes, branch counts, and merge contention, requiring fast clones and cloud-isolated environments that Git's 2005 design does not handle well. The post references the Jujutsu (jj) VCS and notes ERSC is not yet announcing a product.
