I have a project in development that I'm working on and I frequently switch between two computers. I am including my sqlite file in git and so far it's been fine but I've heard in the past that git doesn't do well with binary? Has anyone actually had issues doing this?

I decided to perform a dump just in case so i dont have to start from scratch if something does go wrong.

The sqlite file in question is just for initial development testing, it's loss would be but a minor annoyance. Since i first posted this question, I've removed the binary file from git tracking anyways and just keep a plain text dump file. This is for convenience while working between two computers, not actual data backup.
