For which product is this? It can't be all of them right?

Yeah but they basically wrote their own wrapper around it, which is to say Microsoft has fallen into one of their usual patterns:

1. Picking a trendy tool

2. Mis-using trendy tool

3. Rewriting trendy tool so it's no longer trendy tool but something custom and not quite standards-compliant with it's own weird behaviors and bugs

4. Complain the standard is wrong

They wrote a wrapper around it because git took so much time for every basic operations, even a `git status` would take minutes. But still it's not a fork, you can either use it or not without impacting anyone else using the repo. And they also made it available to everyone, as how good open source citizens should do.
