It was Source Depot, a fork of Perforce.
However, IIRC they moved to a git based Git Virtual File System for windows development a few years back..

- noahl 6y agoIt was released, and was used for the Windows repo. Search "vfs for git" - it's open source. Then macOS removed kernel extensions, so they came up with a different approach and released that too. Search "scalar" to see it.
- WorldMaker 6y agoIt may be useful to note that "scalar" is mostly (albeit not entirely) a git (auto) configuration tool using (now) built-in tools like sparse checkouts and sparse checkout "cones", it shows how much of Microsoft's improvements have made it upstream into git itself. (And it is a stated goal of "scalar" that everything eventually should be.)
