Hi,

I'm doing researching for an online version control systems for our developing studio. Wondering how git could work for us in regards to large files, lots of data, lots of collaboration etc. I have a basic idea of how it works, but I'm very new to version control. Many thanks for your help.

Best,

Will Hoag

What Git *might* have problems with is large un-deltable binary files; there are however third party tools that try to deal with this problem, like git-annex, or git-media (git-bigfiles fork is dead IIRC).

You can [probably] find more information on tools page of Git Wiki... when it will be up.

In the meantime there is a backup[1] from January.

[1] Okay, it's more than a backup. Thanks, Jeff! https://github.com/peff/wikitest/blob/master/Interfaces,_frontends,_and_tools.wiki
