No, split will have the full history.  It just automates the grunt
work of doing so.

You can't have a new branch with the same revisions and without all
the files' history.  The only option is to create a new, similar
history, with just those files, and new revisions.  There's been some
work on tools to automate that, but I don't know what shape they're
in.
