It's part of their nature. They store the complete history of the repository by default on your computer. Git does not pack the files by default. I am still figuring out all the innards of Git but I believe that it stores a new copy of the file each time it changes and then hardlinks the tree object to the new file. you can run a pack operation that will create deltas of the files but this is an additional step. Any Git gurus here please correct my understanding of how Git manages binary files.
