I wonder if GitHub tries to make a stab at LayerVault [1] and compete with them? This could be a good first step. I wouldn't mind seeing LayerVault have some more competition in this space. I hope this is the first of many updates GitHub does trying to integrate more into version control for designers.

I just wish companies would do this when they released new TOS policies.

Sounds like a good project idea... TOSdiff.

sigh

I just wish PSD files weren't so horrendously, horrendously, horrendously, terrible with space.

Our design people routinely have to deal with 300MB+ files for client work. I'm not convinced yet it's worth the benefits if the only way they can work w/git(hub) is with git-bigfiles or git-annex, or some convoluted custom workflow =(

Meetup does something along these lines. Check out the revision history and first paragraph:

I wonder if PSD became their favorite file format https://code.google.com/p/xee/source/browse/XeePhotoshopLoad...

I saw that our artists recently (or might've been longer ago that I knew) started using PSB files rather than PSD - Haven't checked on the actual differences.

The irony is they are likely using LayerVault's PSD.rb http://layervault.tumblr.com/post/56891876898/psd-rb
