One should understand that conflict resolution by means of merging does only work well for things which can be merged conveniently. AFAIK, this mostly (only?) means plain text files. Now think of, say, game industly where there are mappers, modellers and artists who do maps, models and textures. These things are not easily mergeable, and are sometimes *huge,* as is the case with textures. In cases like this, it might be better to really just serialize the work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
