title: Git vs SVN With Non Text Files / Large Projects
body: <p>I have been learning Git the past weeks or so and I really like the way it works in comparison to SVN.  The main reason I am looking to fully switch to it is the fact that merging is supposedly a lot easier with few conflicts and the fact I can commit locally.  This promotes the use of many branches (like a branch per ticket/issue/task/etc..) and also promote many commits.  I only use branches if I need to in SVN (since merges often produces conflicts) and I only commit when I am 100% sure the issue is fix (instead of incremental commits, which would be nicer).</p>
  
  <p>Now, one concern I have about git as I have been reading it is about non text files/large projects.  For example I am working on a game project currently controlled in SVN.  Now with a game project, there are going to be a lot of non text files like art, sound, and other binary files and some of the files can get pretty big.  How well does git handle non text file / large binary files?  What are some of the considerations I have to keep in mind if I want to port over such a project to git?</p>
