Do not worry, you will not have any issues such as data loss or corruption regardless of what data you keep in git. Keeping binary files may be ineffective, as many binary formats do not play well with external compression, as a result your repository will grow by the whole size of updated file on each commit, even if the logical change is small. This should not be the case for sqlite files though, which should be well compressible both as individual blobs and between versions of the same file, so with each update your repository would grow roughly by the size of changed data. You should be careful though to close all database connections before committing so the file is in consistent state and contains all the recently written data.
Thank you!
