Git was built for humans — agents need an upgrade

Summary
GitLab explains why rebuilding Git for agent scale is only half the fix: agents inflate clone traffic to 5-10GB per invocation, collapse concurrency and lack isolation. Next-gen SCM adds server-side task-scoped queries, elastic compute and per-agent isolation with provenance, keeping Git compatibility.
Why it matters
This coverage explores how software development infrastructure is evolving to accommodate AI-agent code generation at scale.
