How to reference dependency as file in Gradle?

Question

In Gradle, I would like to:

1. Specify a database file (e.g. .mdf file) as a dependency.

2. Attach that file to database instance.

I know how to do #2, using file path.

I don't know how to get file path of a downloaded dependency.

Please have a look at this question - it's quite self explanatory. However I suppose that better idea might be keeping the mdf file under src/main/resources. Why don't You put it there?

Storing large binary file in Git does not sound like a good idea. – isobretatel Oct 06 '14 at 14:10
In Git particularly or in general? Why not? – Opal Oct 06 '14 at 14:20
