Is there some documentation out there that lists the common binary
formats (e.g., pdf, docx, gif, jpg, png, bmp, mpeg, mp3, zip, 
c-binaries, java stuff, website stuff, etc.) and explains their nature 
(container, compressed, encrypted, etc.), how well they currently delta 
in git.git within specified size boundaries and use cases (pdfs with 
only plain text vs. pdfs with graphics, tables, etc.) so git users can 
reference that to make their git repo/superproject design decisions?

v/r,
