I don't quite understand: are those .tar.gz files stored in _source_
repository? That would be a bit strange...

I guess that you have tried adding "*.tar.gz" to either .gitignore or
.git/info/excludes file?

Another solution would be (if they are truly needed to reside in
repository) to re-checkout them as a last part of build process /
after-build process.
