Why can't these sorts of things go in git?
Important assets get added to git as they become a part of the repo in a commit by a developer.
I've seen a *lot* of raster images get added without any vector originals, though, especially when the originals were created in proprietary tools like Photoshop or AI instead of using standard SVGs. Then a year or two later we come by, want to fix something for retina display or change colors around, and have to start from scratch.
Important mockups and other non-production assets that need to be documented long term get uploaded to a wiki, preferably Commons. It's frankly not realistic to say that designers are going to commit every random psd or ai file they might create to a git repo. Many of them have never even used it.
Well, it'd be nice for the employees to be trained on the tools the organization uses...
