I would have loved to have that option quite a few times. Lots of projects that involve software, but also get contributions from non-developers, or need almost no user-facing config, but not exactly zero. If git wasn't so hostile, quite a few tiny config web UIs I've built over the years could have been SublimeText or the like and a very userfriendly git client. It's kind of frustrating to have a repository with a directory full of .sql files, a CI pipeline that versions and verifies those and deploys the updated app, but the domain expert who is perfectly capable of writing the SQL still needs me to put the file in the right place and commit+push it, because they (understandably) just won't use git on Windows.
