Can you say more about the context?  You might like
 git clone --filter=blob:limit=512m <repo>

which tells Git to avoid downloading any blobs larger than 512 megabytes until you know they need them. See Documentation/technical/partial-clone.txt for more details.

Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan
