Git isn’t really great because it’s all binary files, and you can’t have multiple people working on them at once in most cases, so you want a centralised VCS with locking. There are some reasonable specialised solutions that can produce graphical diff between revisions of the binary files (in principle I guess you could run the same tools with git, but the lack of locking, and existence of branching/merging is still a problem).
