I also think a lot of people in this thread don't understand that large companies don't want everyone having even read access to the entire repo. Using a system like perforce, artists can drop files in the assets part of the repo, translators can have access to script files, and coders can have access to the parts of the code that they are working on. Source code licenses are still a thing, where after buying a license only a certain # of people in a company are even allowed to view the licensed source code. The way this is worked around is a build server exists where some pre-built libraries are pulled from during a developer's local machine build. While I'm happy to no longer be working in that environment, it is unfortunate that many of the commenters cannot imagine an ecosystem different than their day to day. :/
