By definition, RES files are compiled RC files. So ideally you should ignore all RES files and commit only RC changes. If it happened somehow that you don't have an RC source for some particular RES file, then add only this "orphan" RES file to git - such files shouldn't change from build to build (cause there is no RC file to generate them from). If for some strange reasons (Delphi, huh) such RES files do change, then you are doomed.

Bottom line: RES files are compilation targets - no different from other binaries (obj,exe,etc)
