A patch is an intuitive atomic unit of work.
It focuses on changes, instead of differences between snapshots (i.e. Git commits).
Applying or unapplying a patch doesn't change its identity.
The end result of applying several patches is always the same, regardless of the order in which they were applied.
Pijul keeps track of 'dependent patches'
No merges or rebases; applying a patch is like git cherry-pick.
