I find the "why" points not appealing to me (maybe I know my way around git too much), but one:

"Partial clones Commutation makes it possible to clone only a small subset of a repository: indeed, one can only apply the changes related to that subset. Working on a partial clone produces changes that can readily be sent to the large repository. "

OK, now I am interested.

I yearn for Pijul every time I want to submit multiple dependent PRs to github and then fix any not-last one in the chain.

Actually I'm not sure if it'd help at all with the github part, but at least rebasing all this wouldn't be a horror.
