> Git works with text-based file formats, which are very common outside of software engineering Even if they are very common, I think there are many, many people who rarely or even never write a text file. If you ‘live’ in a combination of Outlook, Word, Excel, Slack, a few web sites (company wiki, Facebook, etc), maybe a company database, where are those ‘very common’ text files? Also, how do you store your Slack or Teams discussion in git, together with your emails, word docs, etc? There also is the issue of legislation that requires people to throw away data. Yes, you can rewrite git history to delete the files associated with J. Doe’s application for a given job, but git doesn’t make that easy.
