See the "filter" section of this document:
http://linux.die.net/man/5/gitattributes

There are two ways to control which files get filtered:

* Within git using options on the filter and globs that match the files to be filtered.
* Within the filter, as long as the filter can make the decision based on the file content. (git sends the data through the filter using stdin, so the filter doesn't know the filename.)
