from what I've heard, git become much friendlier with monorepos in recent years because of microsoft involvement. Windows repo, pretty sizeable, is now using git, and it supposedly works even without strange things like vfs for git.
- redleader55 3y agoIt's not only Windows that uses Git at Microsoft, but Sharepoint and Office (which includes the on-prem version of SharePoint). In terms of repo size Windows and Office are similar. I was part of the team that migrated Sharepoint from a Perforce clone to Git and helped build the tooling to allow Office to move as well. VFS for Git [1] and Scalar [2] are really good pieces of software.
