- sulam 6y agoYep, and they've had to add support for several features that Facebook added to Mercurial years earlier.
- klodolph 6y agoFrom what I understand, Microsoft "took Git and ran with it" the same way that Facebook did with Mercurial, or that Google did with Perforce. The command-line front-end tools are recognizably Git, but the underlying system is radically different.
- jeffbee 6y agoGoogle's main repo was 86TB in January 2015.
- ian-g 6y agoIs this 86TB of files at that time? Or 86TB of files cumulatively over time + metadata?
