What do you do with repos that have to version control (a) source code / txt files but also (b) large quantities of binary data /resources (single digit GBs)?

- badsectoracula 4y agoPersonally i'm using Subversion. It has a bunch of annoyances and the GUI frontend story is poor on Linux (the best i've found -at least in openSUSE's repos- is kdesvn but it barely has seen any development in recent years and lacks support for any non-basic functionality) but it seems there hasn't been any improvement in CVCSs since Svn, at least in the open source space (which kinda makes sense since the overwhelming vast majority of developers work mainly or only with code and text files), so it is basically the best you can get.
