For non-text blobs, it takes a little bit of insight to get the most out of them. For OpenDocument (Open/Libre Office documents), they're zipped files containing text/XML which can be diff'ed with more meaning. Usually there are custom filters for git[1], Mercurial[2] and Bazaar[3] which will unpack the zipped file contents before committing and give you more sensible diffs. Likewise, for images (gif/jpg/tiff/raw/etc), there are particular image-diff programs which make it easier to tell what happened, as the textual diff of binary files is pretty useless. However some images (such as .svg files) are XML/text inside, and diff pretty nicely without extra effort. I can't speak to CAD/CAE, but it would have to be addressed on a per-format basis in your given VCS. That said, you *can* store the binary blobs in each, it's just not as useful without meaningful comparisons. -tkc [1] http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2008/9/15/3305014 [2] http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HandlingOpenDocumentFiles [3] http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/plugins/en/oodiff.html
