How do you merge binary files ? What happens when the same texture is modified 
by 2 designers. In CVS and SVN, the new file simply replace the locally 
modified one that is renamed for reference. What is the behaviour of GIT ?

I'd also say that I simply don't see what GIT will bring me and what are the 
use cases, not speeking about the new commands to learn. I browsed the 
different fg GIT mirrors and I see several instance of the FG tree. Some are 
old. What one is supposed to to with them ?


I am not saying it is useless. It is just that nobody explained me the benefits 
of using GIT over a well known system such as CVS and SVN. I am aware of the 
serious lacks of CVS, that's why I am advocating switching to SVN. Now someone 
has to explain why GIT is superior. A wiki page would be just fine.
