if you are using gitolite you can also try VREF. There is one VREF already provided by default (the code is in gitolite/src/VREF/MAX_NEWBIN_SIZE). It is called MAX_NEWBIN_SIZE. It works like this:

repo name
RW+     =   username
-   VREF/MAX_NEWBIN_SIZE/1000   =   usernames 

Where 1000 is example threshold in Bytes.

This VREF works like a update hook and it will reject your push if one file you are to push is greater than the threshold.
