Feature Request: Support for Additional VCS (e.g., Jujutsu)

[delafthi]

What’s the idea?

Right now, Codex mostly works with Git when it comes to version control stuff. But there are other VCS tools out there—like Jujutsu (https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj), a git-compatible version control system that is getting more and more popular.

Why does it matter?

• It’d be nice for people who don’t use Git to still use an AI tool that integrates with their VCS.
• More options mean more people could find Codex useful in their workflows. I don't know of any other AI tool that integrates with other VCS tools, e. g. aider doesn't.
• Jujutsu has some neat features that Git doesn’t have, or that are very hatd to do with git, so it could open up new possibilities.

What could this look like?

Maybe Codex could provide configuration options to set required commands, e. g. diffing, committing, create a new change. It doesn’t have to be perfect right away, but just starting a conversation on this would be great!

Other stuff to think about

• Jujutsu is quite different from Git, so it might need some special handling.
• Would love to hear other people’s thoughts or ideas about this.

Just throwing this out there to see what people think and if it could make sense to expand Codex’s VCS abilities!

I would be interested in looking more into this and would be happy to try creating a PR to add support for Jujutsu if there’s interest in moving forward with this idea.
