Migration problems from SVN

Hi all,

I'm trying to migrate from svn to git, but has run into a snag for which
I haven't found any good solutions on the web:

If I early on and accidentally commit a *large* binary object, how do I get rid
of it from .git again?

svn copes with this reasonably well as the binary object will no longer be
downloaded if it is deleted. Also when converting old SVN repositories,
such objects needs to be pruned.  Somewhat related I also need to enumerate
the offending large binary objects that I should get rid of.

It is unpractical to live by the rule that no big objects should ever
be committed
accidentally given the number of people involved and the walks of life they come
from.... So there really needs to be some way to deal with this once the
damage has been done.
