Most binary files that people want to store in a VCS are stuff like .psd, .xlsx, .docx, and the like - data that's created by people by hand, but not stored as text.

Xlsx and docx are just zipped up xml text. You can store it as text if you like and I think there are many git modules to handle this. But the xml isn’t really that diffable so I don’t bother.
