Mercurial @ Facebook & Mozilla, per Wikipedia:
> Although Mercurial was not selected to manage the Linux kernel sources, it has been adopted by several organizations, including Facebook, the W3C, and Mozilla. Facebook is using the Rust programming language to write Mononoke, a Mercurial server specifically designed to support large multi-project repositories.
Mercurial @ Google:
> Speaking of Google, their Mercurial rollout on the massive Google monorepo
continues. Apparently their users are very pleased with Mercurial - so
much so that they initially thought their user sentiment numbers were wrong
because they were so high! Google's contribution approach with Mercurial is
to upstream as many of their modifications and custom extensions as
possible: they seem to want to run a vanilla Mercurial out-of-the-box as
possible. Their feature contributions so far have been very well received
upstream and they've been contributing a number of performance improvements
as well. Their contributions should translate to a better Mercurial
experience for all.

GitHub is a fine place to stash free code for free. Adding Linus Torvalds' good name to "free storage" is an unbeatable combination for mindshare, but does not change the fact that mercurial is far more ergonomic for the typical cases, and handles facebook/google scale well enough.
