The docs say "no" to support for all of those except tags, which is "partial" because jj can check it ou, but not create them, which hopefully is clear in my comment that "new tags" is still a "no"

I'm going to take the docs for what they say about support over an HN comment

You can trivially run `git tag` and create one, or in your forge and then pull it down. Creating one is not directly supported directly in jj's cli, but if you create a tag, it's in the repo just fine.

right, but then I'm using git, not jj, so why jj?

Why do people believe it's going to replace git if it won't do basic things we need. Why is it hard for jj to create a tag?

It’s not. It’s that there’s no inherent advantage to doing it natively when it works just fine via git. There’s more important things to do first, like many of the things on your list.

It’ll get there! Early days.
