They are tracked, they are not stored in the repository, to store them 
in the repository you need to make a commit, for example:

git commit -m "initial commit of website design" -a

when you done that, a copy will be stored of the files and if you make 
changes to the files and you want to restore it for the changes was no 
good, then you can checkout them again.

As long as they are just added, you don't have that feature.

The more files you divide things up in (from the point of view of the 
web browser), the slower the page will be, try to have everything that 
you use in all your pages in one single css and if you have styles which 
you use only a few times in a rarely used page, then you can split those 
out.

I do recommend you install firebug and yslow and you will get good 
information how to improve the speed of your web page.
