How do you feel about storing binary files with Git? (lemmy.ca)

I think it's generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there's still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.

So what's your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?

I'd rather just use SVGs for the icons.

That's not really responding to their point. Are you saying that there are no project resources that aren't (or couldn't be) encoded as text representation in any conceivable project that is stored in a git repo?

I agree with your general point. I'm just curious if you have some unique project pattern techniques that allow you to draw such a hard line so confidently.
