Does it make sense to use source control to manage graphics files (e.g. PSDs & AI files)

Question

Of course source control tools like Git, (Mercurial, SVN, etc...) can do a great job at managing source code. But I wonder, do these tools provide the developer with any advanta

Answer 1

Git itself can manage any kind of data, provided their are not too big or to numerous.
See "git with large files" ("large" as in size or number).

Diff'ing pictures/graphics isn't a feature supported by Git natively, but a Git repo hosting service can extends its web GUI to offer such a support.

GitHub just announced (June 2014) "ePSD Viewing & Diffing", which extends their " image viewing and diffing" (Nov. 2011)

Any PSD assets in your repositories will be treated just like images, meaning you can view them inline and use our three image view modes to see what's changed in a commit.
