How would we represent video diffs? I don't deal with video so I'm not an expert, but there appears to be people complaining without suggesting solutions.
Not all version controlled files can be merged. That’s fine. Git sucks at working with large binary files. Perforce does not. Therefore all game devs use Perforce.
A theoretical Git2 could provide Perforce-tier support for large binary files. But, imho, this would likely require dropping the D in DVCS. I would gladly trade distributed for large binary file support. Without even a moment’s hesitation. Other people wouldn’t. But I wouldn’t call their use case “bad”.
Git is rubbish for my needs. It’s rubbish for a lot of needs. It’s ok at some things. Mercurial is much better at those things though.
If you just want images then gitlab does a good enough job.
