Alan: the experienced git user, new to pijul
    Top priority: conflict resolution -- that's what he is not getting from git

Grace: the darcs expert, new to pijul
    Top priority: clear mental model -- that's what she was not getting from darcs

Barbara: the experienced pijul user
    Top priority: overall productivity and long-term maintenance -- she loves pijul, and wants to see it extended to new areas; she has an existing pijul repository to maintain
