- frob 5y agoWhen I left, the diff number was in the 15 million range. Not all diffs are landed, but I would assume >60% are, so FB's repo is almost certainly above 10M commits
- eru 5y agoAnd Google uses a hacked up Perforce.
- quantumofalpha 5y agoNothing hacked about it. They rewrote it completely, keeping just the interface for compatibility. Perforce scales very well but still has a single server at its core - at some point no matter how much money google threw at that machine (it used to be the beefiest single server they had), it just couldn't keep up.
- eru 5y agoYes. Sorry, I was a bit sloppy in my expression. It started out as vanilla, then hacked up, and then the re-write. I think Facebook's mercurial was/is also a special edition? Or is everything they do upstreamed?
