Neat! I hope this is a step in the right direction towards and not-so-bespoke SCM.

I do wonder:

1) How it handles large (binary) files. This is a major pain point when using git and even the standard solution (git-lfs) leaves *a lot* to be desired.

2) How does server hosting currently work? I didn’t see any mention and am assuming it’s not an option currently? (two dependencies of Sapling are currently closed source)
