Having said all that, why is it that you do not want to track

them)? It might be that your time is better spent on improving
that, instead of working around the issue, no?
My experience in #git is that people want to prevent other people
accidentelly adding large files, resulting in all sorts of problems,
which takes a lot of effort to fix if you're not an experienced user.

I'd also support this option.
One issue is to locate a suitable method/character code for the 'magic
pathspec' that would define a size limit that can be used for the 'git
add .' etc., and possibly also for sparse checkout (definitely an area
where a size limit may be appropriate for some users).
The ability to extend the ignore method could also, in the future be
used for a possible narrow clone (when desired).
