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).

Perforce’s binary support is basically equivalent to Git LFS, it does the same thing.

What does Perforce binary support have that Git LFS doesn’t?

AFAIK, the base issue that Perforce is already in use and it has enterprise support.

1. Perforce checkout requests always do the round trip to the server.

2. Artists can actually understand Perforce.
