I simply don't put those files under revision control.  Instead I
explicitly specify those (few) files that I _do_ want controlled.

It's very hard, and in any case it's almost certainly _not_ what your
user wants.  If your user deleted the file by accident, they would be
very disappointed to discover that you had deleted all trace of it
