Is that your reasoned conclusion after reading what this team actually built, and considering the deficiencies in today's repos + monorepos which led them to invent this new approach?
Or did you just read the headline?

We're pretty worried about trying to monorepoize our existing code bases together.
How do we not break all the merge commits that link a project specific PR? Complex filter-branch I guess. How do we make GitHub able to actually help us navigate the past effectively?
It seems like we need some custom tooling to help us replay the past step by step across multiple repos, doing some rewriting as we go.
And what if it's not just your own repos one is managing? What if you also are trying to manage external deps too?
I see much validity to wanting good git-of-gits. Also if anyone has any suggestions for stitching together monorepos out of existing repos, please please comment!

Git doesn't actually perform that well with monorepos of a certain scale and linear history. From what I read they're trying to give you a git interface to a monorepos that scales well.

There's no published pricing, just "contact sales", if you want SSO.

The readme is understandable and the failure modes means it degrades to an ordinary git repo.
> This git command "clones" an external git repo into a subdirectory of your repo. Later on, upstream changes can be pulled in, and local changes can be pushed back. Simple.
