How do you figure that? A plain old directory is infinitely better at
managing static content, binary or not, than _any_ versioning tool.
Anything over and above a plain old directory _only_ adds unnecessary
layers of complexity.
Haven't you learned yet that you'll do a lot better if you choose the
best tools for each job rather than hitting everything on the head with
your damn hammer!?!?!?!?!
