    Technically true - but it looks like jj does a lot of history re-writing which would require a lot of care to be taken when working on a shared codebase.

    The page on remotes has some cautions in it.

    We need the --allow-backwards flag to set the trunk branch to the previous commit because it is a dangerous operation: if we had pushed trunk, things would get weird when we try and push now. We’ve kept it all local, so there’s no issues with doing this.

      jj by default refuses to change any commits on published branches such as a master branch that has been pushed. The details are configurable.

      BTW that’s why I linked Linus Torvalds mail on when and why to rewrite history - it is good advice.
