I think you can "git add" such files, push/fetch histories that contains such files over the wire, and "git checkout" such files, but naturally reading, processing and writing 20+GB would take some time. In order to run operations that need to see the changes, e.g. "git log -p", a real content-level merge, etc., you would also need sufficient memory because we do things in-core.
