Has there been any discussion in the past on a method for ignoring large
files via the .gitignore process?
It does appear to be a moderately common problem for folk to accidentally
commit a large file which bloats their repository and they want rid of it,
which causes history re-writes and such palaver.
Perhaps a simple '>' and '<' option (the latter to cover null or minimal
files?) with a --warn postfix may be possible. Just an initial thought.
Where would the 'right place' be for me to look at the git code if it was
beneficial.
