One thing I don't understand is why big projects like this put everything in a mega repository.

Also it's git, fork the repo delete the other bits and move your desired project to the head of it. It's only a bit of rebase and patience to merge them back together if you need to.

They seem to have had quite a bit of debate on that particular subject. https://llvm.org/docs/Proposals/GitH...e-repositories
It seems their decision was not taken lightly.

Hopefully this year git will learn to do partial clones https://www.git-scm.com/docs/partial-clone then this becomes a non issue.
