git-lfs is your friend. And supported natively by GitHub.

Thanks but it seems like a highly undesirable soloution to me.

Firstly it seems to require mangling your git repo. That is going to make it at 
best a PITA to use with things like dgit.

Secondly AIUI git-lfs stores every version of the file seperately. If so then 
one would very quickly blow through the default storage and bandwidth 
limitations for githubs lfs offering.

    I have recently started pushing source for packages where we carry 
modifications for in raspbian to github. The packages are imported into git 
using dgit.

    However I have discovered that this is not possible for all packages. In 
particular github rejects files over 100 megabytes and the current libreoffice 
package has a 107 megabyte (upstream) ChangeLog in it.

    You might want to bear this in mind when considering packaging workflows 
that may involve github.
