What problems, if any, will I have using git to manage the binary files for my site, like the custom icons? CVS is doing that just fine now. I presume emailing diff-patches is out of the question, but if all I'm doing is git-push and git-pull (using the shared central repository model), and if I'm stupid enough to have a merge error it's OK to just blow up on a binary file, will everything else work fine? -- Randal L.
