Feels like a hack and a workaround rather than an integrated part of git. From a UX perspective it's a hassle to deal with and inconsistent (different files require different commands to manage based on...if they're "large"?) and it seems to be rather unloved and ignored by most git UI tools and git developers. I don't doubt that it's possible to build a tool useful for civil engineers (and other fields with similar challenges) on top of git, but as far as I know no one has showed any interest in that.
