Anthropic went from about 2,500 to over 30,000 merges a day and replaced git with an in-house system called Scion. What the post says, what HN pushed back on, and what to do on your own repo.

Oak is an early bet that AI coding agents need version control shaped around sessions, virtual workspaces, and token budgets. The idea is risky, but the pressure on Git workflows is real.

Oak rethinks version control for agentic workflows with virtual mounts, faster snapshots, and lower VCS-related token overhead. Here's what the HN community thinks about this Show HN.

At its Compile conference, Cursor announced Origin: a Git-compatible code hosting platform designed around AI agents as first-class users. Built on its Graphite acquisition, it promises agent-driven merge conflict resolution, stacked PRs, and MCP-extensible automation. Here is what was actually announced, what is still a waitlist promise, and why it matters for developers.

Epic Games open-sourced Lore, a centralized version control system designed for binary-heavy game projects. It uses Merkle trees, on-demand file hydration, and native chunked storage to handle terabyte-scale repos that Git struggles with.
