Fig is an abstraction over top of Perforce. Before fig was a git-UI-based tool and it is gone. Mercurial's interface is way better than git.

The fact that Mercurial does not scale to a Google-sized monorepo is not an indictment of Mercurial.

From what I understand, the local instance in fig is/was a full-on local mercurial repo, just not the entire monorepo (which doesn't leave Piper).

I suppose it must be because you can create commits which don't exist in Perforce.
