I think LFS has done a great job so far solving the large file issue. I've been working myself on strategies for handling binary conflicts, and particularly how to do it in a git-friendly way (ie. avoiding as much centralization as possible and playing into the commit/branching model of git). I've got to a loose design that I like, but it'd be good to get some feedback, as well as hearing what other game devs would want in a binary conflict system. - John On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 12:00 PM Taylor Blau wrote: > > Hi John, > > On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 10:55:39AM -0700, John Austin wrote: > > Is anyone interested in contributing/offering insights?
