> Then GitHub can sell tools to deal with your enormous monorepo, because your traditional tools will feel slow and worse than GitHub's tools The "tool" in this case is a feature being added to upstream git, which everyone gets for free. It seems reasonable to assume other git providers will also be adding support for it server-side where needed; I have to imagine Gitlab either already is or will be doing work to support monorepos as well, assuming there's enough demand for it. At worst, this seems like it could be trying to lock people into git generally rather than GitHub specifically, but more likely this is just work being done to support something that (potential) customers are already asking for.
