    I've always liked the simplicity of git-fat [0]:

    * Initial setup includes git filter rules so that "git add" automatically uses get-fat for matching files.

    * It works by rsync'ing to/from the remote. The setup for this is in a single ".gitfat" file, separate from the filter rules.

    * You do need to run "git fat push" and "git fat pull"; this can probably be automated with hooks.

    So just offhand without even trying to think about the "right" way to do what you want, the committed ".gitfat" could be to a read-only remote, then you can swap it with your own un-committed file for a push that has an rsync-writeable remote.

    Also, the whole thing is a single 628-line python file, so worst case it would be easy to tweak it to read something like ".gitfat-push" and not have to manually swap it.
