Splitting the index (git update-index --split-index) doesn't work for me at all. While it may initially reduce the size of .git/index, making a commit inflates it back to its original size anyway.
I thought it might be some interaction with v4 index and its compression mechanics but it does the same if I set it to v3 index. For (manufactured) example:
$ git update-index --split-index
$ du -sh .git/*index*
4.0K .git/index
76M .git/sharedindex.70e661456302b51a7ec59bf5b32d630e74b34c7c
... add 8000 files ...
$ git commit -m \"add files\"
$ du -sh .git/*index*
80M .git/index
76M .git/sharedindex.70e661456302b51a7ec59bf5b32d630e74b34c7c
