title: Is it possible for git lfs pull to ignore some files / folders?
body: <p>Short question: 
  Is it possible to configure git such that regular git pull will ignore some files?</p>
  
  <p>Problem description:
  I have a repository that includes some large data files (stored using git lfs)</p>
  
  <p>While some developers who work on the data files need updated versions of these files, other developers need the files, but not necessarily the most recent version.</p>
  
  <p>They do need updated code versions. And the data files are in the same repository as the code.</p>
  
  <p>I want to set up for way that a regular pull wouldn't update the data files.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I know it's possible to do a pull without downloading files from LFS, but this will replace the files with pointer files, and I need the previous version of the files. </li>
  </ul>
