Beyond Git: Zed's Answer to Version Control in the Age of AI Coding

Zed's DeltaDB challenges a fundamental assumption about version control in AI-assisted development: that commits represent the meaningful unit of change. By tracking every code edit, AI response, and intermediate state, it addresses real accountability questions as AI becomes a coding partner. However, the practical burden of reviewing this metadata at scale, combined with Git's entrenched position, suggests that complementary tools layered atop Git may prove more viable than wholesale replacement.
