GitBridge: JSONL Message Log for Git

Developer frustration grows when tools diverge from git’s semantics—making branches, worktrees, and refs unpredictable. GitBridge solves this by embedding a JSONL message log directly into the .git/refs hierarchy, giving teams a familiar git workflow while enabling structured, real‑time logging and integration.

Comment on: Claude Code and Codex can have real-time conversation via Git

I like this and think it's a great idea. Leveraging git makes a lot of sense (content addressed filesystem, efficient storage and sync protocol with pack files etc ..., widely deployed).From a cursory look my impression is that it deviates from git too much and therefore I can't use my git knowledge to predict how it will behave. I'm quite rusty on git internals but afair .git/refs/ is great because you can do what you like in there but the downside is that it doesn't hook into the rest of the git structure.So how does this work with branches, worktrees, etc...?
