This. People forget a lot of Git's design philosophy harks back to the ethos of open source development. Enterprise features have made it in over the years but still mostly with the FOSS development workflow/model in mind. Also why the most enterprise-y of features (like LFS) are add-ons rather than core.

It's pretty sad in the indie gamedev world that handling and versioning binary data is considered an enterprise feature. I understand that git was explicitly designed for source code, but it would be nice to have any open system that handled versioning binary files well. This is pretty much the only reason I am going to try out lore at some point, although I am not super psyched at some of its implementation.
