Idk, but not anything that uses delta compression like git does.
Game developers use Perforce and Plastic scm which is (supposedly) optimized for images and other binary assets. Iโve never used them, but Iโm sure a less-overkill and open source alternative exists somewhere.
That's the thing, everything that I could find is a huge project made for storing huge projects, costs a lot of money and requires effort to install and even use. Yeah, naked git basically stores new version of an image for every commit, but nothing beats the fact that you need like two commands to use it and it just works, and storage is very cheap this days. And if you add LFS, it even does some kind of storage compression.
