    Git isn’t very good with large binary files, git blame doubly so. There’s asset management systems but finding when a hate symbol was added to something binary is gerally going to be difficult

      That wouldn’t be difficult at all if it was in version control, just load them into an editor in a binary-search fashion. Even if it takes a few minutes per check, that shouldn’t take more than a few hours.

        Assets are humongous compared to code and their tools probably integrate with more reasonable asset management solutions.

      Good point. I’d hope that there is some equivalent version control though.

        There is git lfs as mentioned, and other systems like perforce support binaries too, but generally assets like those aren’t under the same kind of version control because they don’t change as frequently, aren’t worked on by multiple people, and can’t be diffed.

        I think perforce is mostly used. There certainly should be a changelog but no text diff really.
