- Git requires full repository cloning before accessing files, causing delays. Oak offers lazy mounting, allowing immediate access to files without complete cloning, reducing latency.
- Oak is designed for agent workflows, featuring content-addressed storage, lazy hydration, and content-defined chunking for efficient handling of large files and parallel tasks without shared .git corruption.
- It supports branch-per-session with messageless intermediate commits and branch descriptions as commit messages, improving ergonomics for agents, and exports data to standard Git repos for portability.
