I mean there aren't. there are perhaps three places that have the same scale problem.

A monorepo for a place with about 50k developers, that has been operating at that scale for 5 years.

The current checkout if not sparse would be >80gigs

The commit rate is > 20 a second.

no amount of branching strategy is going to help on that.

I love git, I used it professionally since 2010, but git is not a good fit for something _massive_
