Git's strength is with source control and it sucks at dealing with image/music/video/binary data. It's OK for a basic few assets that rarely change, but it takes effort to make it work properly. Consider the problem of people trying to work on the same image file at the same time. An easy/naive solution for most version control software is to stop multiple people from editing the same file at once, but AFAIK this is impractical in git; the antithesis even. Others might do something complex like allow different people to edit different layers of the same photoshop doc and try to merge them. There are version control solutions such as Alienbrain and even Perforce that are much more efficient at handling assets out of the box.
