Have you examined git-lfs and git-annex?
(Actually, there are/were more solutions [1] but these two appear to be

Such solutions allow one to use Git for what it does best and defer
handling of big files (or files for which lock-modify-unlock works better
than the usual modify-merge) to a specialized solution.
