On: Reorient GitHub pull requests around changesets

Surprised he didn't refer to stack PR based systems like Gerrit for reference.

I have never tried those apps that build a top GitHub. I remember Facebook's sapling has a web client as well that does stack reviews.

There are two mentions of Gerrit in the article. Granted neither goes into detail, but both reference it as prior art on the topic.

Oops. I must have missed the mentions.

Doesn't he do just that?

I used to work at FB, and unfortunately the Sapling review client that shows GH PRs has nothing on the the actual internal code review tooling at Facebook (now called Diffs, formerly Phabricator). I miss that tool so much

I believe sapling uses https://github.com/ezyang/ghstack under the hood for stacked PR.
