Changing Git to fit your needs probably just makes this monorepo function on borrowed time. Fixing the symptoms with band-aids will work for now, but at some point, something will probably have to be done about this 300GB god-repo. Any insight in to what/when/if something is going to be done about that?

I'm not the right person to ask about Windows organization, I'm afraid. But I will say that the nice thing about moving to Git is that its lightweight branching makes refactoring much easier.
