Source control applications don't generally worry about dependencies, and they also generally aren't concerned with multiple projects.
Using .NET as an example, the SDK patches would include:
Drivers
DirectX
XNA
WPF
BackOffice
SQL Server (or Express or Lite or whatever they call it)
System libraries
ASP.NET
C#
F#
ILR
C++ .NET
VB.NET
And the list goes on.
Apple's developer kit has a similarly vast suite of libraries and services, I just don't know all of their names. Each one in isolation wouldn't be all that big a deal, but combine them and you have the option of massive downloads or a nightmarish dependency management problem.
