To their credit, I don't think its use-case is limited to monorepos. I've personally had a multiple GB `.git` file due to storing many data files in a repo. In retrospect, data __shouldn't__ be version-controlled, but it's sometimes the simplest solution, e.g. having a unit-test suite intake a bunch of CSV data. Eden's "a file is checked out only if opened" and "scan only modified directories" would've allowed me to avoid decoupling data from code.
