I wonder if it could make sense to have some pluggable mechanism for file splitting. Something under the lines of filters, so to say. Bupsplit can be a rather general mechanism, but large binaries that are containers (zip, jar, docx, tgz, pdf - seen as a collection of streams) may possibly be more conveniently split by their inherent components.
gitattributes or gitconfig could configure the big-file handler for specified files. Known/supported filetypes like gif, png, zip, pdf, etc., could be auto-configured by git. Any yet-unknown/yet-unsupported filetypes could be configured manually by the user, e.g.
