I have a similar use case, funnily enough also with images. I created a tmp/ directory and put the images there, cp'ing or ln -s'ing the current one into the cwd. Then, "/tmp/" is put into .gitignore and all is well.

Especially the fact that I no longer forget to check in the images that I _do_ want to track.
