It's my understanding that Source Depot was not internally developed but rather was a fork off Perforce which MS purchased a source license to some years back.

True. Source Depot originated as Perforce and is a fork; it had (at one time) a pretty large team of developers working on it and it has been heavily, heavily modified in the many years since.
