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 ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2011-09-25 13:30 Subject: Re: Git for animation studio Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m3sjnkpx75.fsf%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: ``` Will Hoag writes: > I'm doing researching for an online version control systems for our > developing studio.

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.
