Re:We Put Half a Million Files in One Git Repository, Here’s... by _ikke_ on Thursday June 16, 2022 @02:55AM (#31763182)
You may want to set the '-diff' attribute for these files so that git will not show diffs for these, instead it will show 'Binary files differ'.

There is also '-merge', which will cause git to not attempt to merge the contents, but just ask you to pick a side.

The challenge however is then verifying the contents of these files in things like merge requests.

See https://gitirc.eu/gitattributes.html
