Hi,
Are there past instances of git having been adapted to support version
control of digital media production workflow?
I'm evaluating CMS and versioning systems for the backend of a SaaS
for digital media production workflow.
The bulk of content stored is binary data -- there have been posts on
this about integration of various binary diff implemetations with git.
The versioning of metadata, scripts, project structure seems to argue
for applicability of system such as git -- these fit the paradigm of
traditional scm.
Example content is from media production suites such as Adobe After
Effects/Premier: video, compositions, etc.
I'd also like the object storage to be in S3/Amazon BlockStore or
similar remote stores.
