Wait, what? Has MS forked git?

MS has had their fork of git for years, and they contributed many performance features for monorepos since then to the mainline.
Companies fork Git in order to work on things internally until they ready to be proposed for inclusion into Git itself. I’m pretty sure that GitHub and GitLab (and?) do the same thing.

These are not forks-going-their-own-way forks.
