I think there is a huge missed opportunity here. I mean, it's good that Microsoft is finally adding functionality that went mainstream in the late 90's. But why don't just skip the flawed approach most of the current Linux distributions use? In my opinion they should have been looking at a more declaritive approach, such as the Nix package manager uses. I will agree though that this oversight is not as bad as TFSVC. Where they were building a centralized version control system when the whole world was switching to decentralized VCSs.
