Nope, me too. The whole Repo network thing is not User facing at all. It is an internal thing at GitHub to allow easier pull requests between repo's. But it isn't a concept git knows, and it doesn't affect GitHub users at all except for this one weird thing.
I may be recalling incorrectly but I seem to remember it having some storage deduplication benefits on the backend.

There are some user-facing parts: You can find the fork network and some related bits under repo insights. (The UX is not great.)
