Yes, Git does things that are simply out of reach for any file based approach. But it can't do them on binary files.
I also noticed that some participants still talk of "uploading" ,and that shows that you're still on the wrong track.

And yes, this clearly indicates that we're having an issue with the concept of all this.
I'm not sure how to deal with it, and I can only say: for those of you who use "versionable" (i.e. text) files this effort will surely pay off on the long run.
