2 months ago Epic games announced and open sourced Lore, their in-house version control system for large, binary heavy repositories.
https://github.com/epicgames/lore
I was an early member of the lore team at Epic and helped specify and design it. I'm really keen to see how I can help promote lore as a platform as I think it solves some problems, especially for games and content teams, that are long over due to be solved.
I've built a hosted platform for lore, www.lorepit.com that makes it easy for teams to try out lore and see if it works for them.
As lore is designed to work with large amounts of media content, lorepit has viewers for lots of different media types including images, meshes, video and audio.
I've also added a system called FYI that automatically generates chronological documentation for your files and assets, making it easy to understand both when a file has changed and why.

Both lore and lorepit are pre 1.0 so tread carefully but lorepit is free to try and I'm very open to feature requests and ideas.
For those folks interested in why Epic would write a new VCS when git exists, they've got a great writeup here.
