Others have answered most of the questions well.

I'll just add that the HintsAndTips-page advice:

predates recent optimizations.  I wouldn't break up a repository that is
the size of the linux kernel.  As Juliusz says, there will be more
optimizations coming, but as *I forgot who* points out, merges are the more
pressing issue, and that's where I'm trying to focus my attention.
