Does it work with large binary files and not choke like git? Cause git may have won for webdev etc, but in some industries such as gamedev, Perforce is the king... git is barely used at all because it can't handle binary files worth a damn(yes I know about the large file extension, no it isn't sufficient).

Right now, nothing special. But this is very much an area that's known about and something may happen in this area, we'll see.

If you could elegantly handle large or frequently-changing binaries I think I'd be willing to switch immediately.

It has always annoyed me that there's not any clever way to handle binary changes with version control.
