One of the conceits people forget about git is that it really is meant for text only.

I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes git LFS, but only because I admit all it's short comings. But it is working really well for my game dev project. Not what I use to manage my asset library though. It is what I use to sync the most up to date binary files, which is really the use case it is maintained for anyway (think syncing build artifacts or large data sets).
