EAS Build fails to upload with large files, and no way to ignore them

Summary

I have an app with lots of assets; I keep the raw assets checked into version control but I process them into optimised versions before I upload run eas build.

These raw assets are pretty big. I’ve recently started being unable to build my app, because I’m getting a 400 error from the server at 2gb (I assume due to the file size but I have no way of knowing):

Compressing project files and uploading to EAS Build. Learn more
✔ Compressed project files 59s (2.1 GB)
✖ Uploading to EAS Build (2.0 GB / 2.1 GB)
    Error: Request failed: 400 (Bad Request)

If I delete these raw assets, the upload goes ahead ok:

✔ Compressed project files 3s (100.7 MB)
✔ Uploaded to EAS 1m 37s

I’ve tried moving the raw assets out of the directory of the expo app, but it appears expo uses .git (or some other method) to find the root of the project.

I’ve seen issues on this repo saying there is no need for ignore because the build process only bundles what is required, but this doesn’t help me.

Can we get a method of defining files to ignore when uploading? Right now I have to delete the raw assets, run the build, then revert the git changes to bring back the files 😭

What platform(s) does this occur on?

Android, iOS

Minimal reproducible example

Put enough files into a project to get the uploaded size over 2gb. Happy to give more info if needed.
