Not to be a jerk, but 'hundreds of devs and dozens of MR per day' is not 'huge repos'. Certain functionality only becomes relevant at scale, and what is easy on a repo worth hundreds of megabytes doesn't work anymore once you have terabytes of source code to deal with.

> terabytes of source code

You sure that exists?

Git repositories that contain terabytes of source code?

I could imagine a repo that is terabytes but has binaries committed or similar... But source code?

Google's monorepo is in fact terabytes with no binaries. It does stretch the definition of source code though - a lot of that is configuration files (at worst, text protos) which are automatically generated.

Google had 86TB of sourcecode data in Piper way back in 2016.

git could never, but piper at google is way over that figure. Way, way over.
