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.
