Engineer toolset != organizational toolset. Different strokes for
different folks.
With the new very friendly git UIs (e.g. GitHub's are
http://windows.github.com/ and
http://mac.github.com/, but there are
others), I don't think it's asking too much for designers to use git for
the source files of assets that are actually being committed/deployed.
If they use the GitHub UI, we can use Yuvi's tool to sync with Gerrit.
If people want further guidance on git (and its UIs), it is worth
setting up a tutorial/walkthrough. Version control is important for
anyone working on something that changes over time, whether it's code or
art. As Brion says, committing only the PNGs (or other rasters) quite
commonly leads to repeated work.
