There is the new "split-index" mode to avoid this (see "git update-index" man page). The base index will contains 250k files but .git/index only contains entries you update, should be a lot fewer than 250k files.

It seems that `--split-index` is only available at 'update-index'. Can it be used with `add` or via `git config`?
