I think you can use a client spec which excludes the files you want.

First, create a client spec that excludes the files you don't want:

Client: myclient
View:
     //depot/mystuff/...  //myclient/...
     -//depot/mystuff/...exe  //myclient/...exe

Then clone with the --use-client-spec option:

$ export P4CLIENT=myclient
$ git p4 clone --use-client-spec //depot/mystuff

And later on, when you want to catch up:

$ cd mystuff
$ git p4 sync --use-client-spec
