http://bryan-murdock.blogspot.com/2007/03/cutting-edge-revision-control.html doesn't tell what is the directory structure of imported files. If it is flat, then git does not use advantage of hierarchical tree structure.
By the way, I guess that "nonconflicting merge" is trivial tree-level merge, as "no changes" merge should be faster (or fast-forward).
About clone: there was "pack loose, copy existing packs" idea. I don't remember what happened with it. At least for local clone it would be nice.
