Google3 is no joke 1000x larger than Linux.


Yes, but the Linux kernel is still "non-trivial". You said git is not tolerable for non-trivial projects. I think you just meant that it isn't tolerable for "incredibly large" repos, which I do think is right.

It's just a boring semantic point that I'm making, that "non-trivial" was a hyperbolic word choice.


What’s the story behind google3? What happened to google and google2?
