I rather agree. It seems difficult enough to teach people Alien Brain, SVN and Perforce, and they all have a much simpler model.

And is git much use to people who mainly work with large binary files? Well, I'm not sure (translation: "no") - but perhaps if they don't expect very much from their source control system, they won't be disappointed when git fails to deliver on its promises as well as it does for text.
