If the exact contents of these large binaries *really* don't matter,
as you say they don't, than why don't you just commit one and never
touch it again?

Unfortunately those binaries does change, although the process is slow
and not very frequent.  And this is why it pokes me in the eye - for
changing a few bytes i end up with much larger repository.

For changing a few bytes you get with much larger repository?
What happened to our packfiles?

Is it possible for us to take a look at two versions of such a
binary blob, one before the change and one after such a change
that touches only a few bytes?
