Ignore Binary Files from Diff

Created by: demisx

Hi. Is there a way to exclude binary files, or files matching certain extensions, from GitLab visual Diff in the merge requests? Currently, a merge request with one HTML file and a few PDF files shows:

Warning! This is a large diff.
To preserve performance the diff is not shown. Please, download the diff as plain diff or email patch instead.

I, and probably most others, care less about visually diffing binary files in MRs. As long as they show up as "different"--it's good enough. However, I don't want them to block diff generation of plain text files.

Thank you.
