This is not a Google product. It is an experimental version-control system
(VCS). I (Martin von Zweigbergk <martinvonz@google.com>) started it as a hobby
project in late 2019. That said, this is now my full-time project at Google. My
presentation from Git Merge 2022 has information about Google's plans. See the

### Mandatory Google Disclaimer
I (Martin von Zweigbergk, <martinvonz@google.com>) started Jujutsu as a hobby
project in late 2019, and it has evolved into my full-time project at Google,
with several other Googlers (now) assisting development in various capacities.
That said, **this is not a Google product**.
