You can certainly use git, but then the model used to apply patches from different branches doesn't work for binary blobs.

So all the things that git specializes in are actually things you don't want.

That seems like an implementation detail that could change tomorrow, at which point it could be perfectly fine to store large blobs in your repository, yea?

I completely agree Git is bad at this now, to be clear. I've watched single-file repositories bloat to hundreds of gigabytes due to lots of commits to a single 1MB file. But that doesn't seem like a design problem, just implementation.
