I wish to add my voice to this.
I suggest a new configuration file like .bzrignore but more like .bzrhandlers which would specify an alternate handler (possibly none!) for filenames matching user defined patterns:

*.pdf /usr/bin/pdfdiff # a magical pdf diffing tool I hope someone will write. :)
*.odf # empty means do not try to diff
*.mov
