This is actually a very interesting moment to potentially overcome network effects, because more and more code is going to be written by agents. If a crdt approach is measurably better for merging by agent swarms then there is incentive to make the switch. It also much easier to get an agent to change its workflow than a human. The only tricky part is how much git usage is in the training set so some careful thought would need to be given to create a compatibility layer in the tooling to help agents along.
