I like putting it like this: VCS can be centralized or decentralized, and it can version per file or per commit. For games you want centralized per file version

For games you want centralized per file versioning, like Perforce. Git is decentralized per commit versioning.
- maccard 4mo agoI mostly agree. I think for games you want per commit versioning 95% of the time. You don’t _really want developers building with cherry picked old revisions etc, but you don’t want an artist to have to pull down the 8TB of new art content that was submitted in the last 48 hours to update a texture.. the only way to do that is per file versioning!
- tikotus 4mo agoIndeed. But luckily those who mostly want per commit versioning are coders, and they are technical enough to find a solution for this. Like perforce git interface.
