I've long resisted allowing agents to touch my version control, but I'm relaxing on that. GitButler's CLI skill makes agents very helpful at resolving conflicts, splitting commits, etc. Principally the oplog is always there (also in Jujutsu's case) if the agent does something stupid.

Agents with access to your forge can also resolve e.g. flaky CI E2E tests end-to-end (ha). There's typically little value in hand-writing the commit message and PR title in these cases. In the meantime I can work on something more impactful.

I'm finding myself writing bigger, more traditionally-atomic commits again. This actually isn't agent-specific, though it's relevant there: we need better review tools. Reading a long diff like a scroll feels antiquated.
