Why Facebook and Google Abandoned Git for Custom Version‑Control Systems

The article traces how a 2005 BitKeeper licensing dispute sparked the creation of Git, how Facebook’s massive monorepo crippled Git’s performance and led it to adopt and heavily extend Mercurial into Sapling, and how Google’s even larger codebase forced a clean‑room rebuild of a new VCS called Piper.
