This seems to be the hot topic of the moment in Git ;-). Loot at the mailing-list's archive, like
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/170649 https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SoC2011Ideas#Better_big-file_support
there may be a GSoC on the topic. I don't think there's a really good solution for you right now (but I didn't really look closely), but the situation is improving.
