Is this essentially a new CLI front-end to git? I'm excited to see the result.

As a big fan and user of git i'm fairly unhindered by it's CLI design, however i'm quite aware of it's issues through helping many people learning from the outside-in - who's problems are often rooted in misconceptions caused by an exposure to git's porcelain without any understanding of the underlying graph they are manipulating... Perhaps OpenBSD can make a more honest CLI that might eliminate this confusion.
