Interestingly - one of the side effects of the file based export of large stacks for Git repos - is that the monolythic stack gets digested into chunks - this can make it much easier to re-engineer as a lean stack that reads and writes to text files.
Also GIT deals very very well with hundreds or even thousands of text files - I've had to scale down my LiveCode repo as it involves many thousands of text files - (every handler I have ever written is saved as a single text file) - but even then a single repo is manageable.
