Hey Justin,
Thanks for your reply, we have about 200 computers for production and 
around 50 projects on-going at the same time. Not like big studios, most of 
our projects are part of the full production pipeline, which means project 
A maybe animation while project B might be only rendering, which confused 
me a lot since each project has its own naming and file structuring 
conventions, and most of our projects require us to map a network url as a 
drive. By mapping the shared storage everyone has the right to get there 
and work on it, which makes tracking files difficult. 
I do realize that Git has the ability to track the whole structure and hash 
each file it doesn't ignore, but my question is, will the reset function 
that Git offers violate the binary file? 
And on three approaches you listed on the last email, do you mean using svn 
or git to track files on a pure file system(with...)? Or add a database to 
track them?
Thanks!
Jerry
