Microsoft developed "VFS for Git" in order to scale it for large repos.
Because let's face it, breaking up codebase into gazillions of smaller
repos is daft and not very user friendly.

The way I understand VFS - data is downloaded on demand, when you try to
access some file. Doesn't this completely negate the idea of having all
history stored locally?

Git local repos seem cool up to a certain size, beyond that you need
hacks like VFS and it's back to the traditional model of central VCS
repos.
