<xorian> Vesta has this really simple feature where any time you try to commit a file over a certain limit (which defaults to 1MB), it complins unless you give a command-line flag that changes that upper limit.

Another approach: file size distributions are pretty predictably log-normal (though there are exceptions). This distribution is very easy to fit. So, instead of making it explicitly tunable, could do a quick normal fit of the existing files, and, say, call an "unusual" file one that is at the 95+% quantile in size, and require some extra work whenever adding a new "unusual" file or, say, an existing file has more than doubled in size and become "unusual".
