I hear perforce is the go to solution for people who really need this. Or dedicated media asset management solutions.

- Jach 15y agoWe recently finished migrating a >6 year old project from perforce to git, splitting out a horrible bloated thirdparty/ directory full of binaries into its own git submodule to eventually be replaced by something sane(r) like Maven or Ivy. I hear subversion is Good Enough for large file dumps, and I'd rather use that through a git interface than its own. p4 and git-p4 are both pretty awful I think after using them. Of course the general response to source control of large files is "don't do that!"
- forrestthewoods 15y agoPerforce is expensive ($740 per user) but I can't imagine using anything else. Just about every major game studio uses it to the best of my knowledge.
- Corrado 15y agoJust be aware that Perforce is a server based system and not really on-par with Git/Mercurial. I'm forced to use it at work and while it works great for storing large binaries (images, movies, etc.) it sucks for daily use, IMHO. At least compared to a modern DVCS.
