Jujutsu's branches do not behave like Git branches, which is a major hurdle for people adopting it from Git. They rather behave like Mercurial's (hg) bookmarks. We've had multiple discussions about it in the last ~1.5 years about this rename in the Discord, where multiple people agreed that this _false_ familiarity does not help anyone. Initially we were reluctant to do it but overtime, more and more users agreed that `bookmark` was a better for name the current mechanism. This may be hard break for current `jj branch` users, but it will immensly help Jujutsu's future, by defining it as our first own term. The `[experimental-moving-branches]` config option is currently left alone, to force not another large config update for users, since the last time this happened was when `jj log -T show` was removed, which immediately resulted in breaking users and introduced soft deprecations. This name change will also make it easier to introduce Topics (#3402) as _topological branches_ with a easier model. This was mostly done via LSP, ripgrep and sed and a whole bunch of manual changes either from me being lazy or thankfully pointed out by reviewers. |
