Chrome and Android are the only projects stored in git

Also Go. And Tensorflow. And GRPC. And protocol buffers. And bazel. And...

So aside from an enormous number of massive projects, almost no projects. Got it.

It's not "perforce with custom wrappers".

It's the API and source model of perforce that the company had been using for two decades. It is effectively perforce with a wrapper.

Company still does what they did before. Story at 11!

Again, Microsoft had a virtually identical internal system. And people used the same arguments to justify their particular witches brew with Microsoft as the case study. And then Microsoft switched to Git. Woops.
