Calling the robot a "payload" doesn't feel right, so why not call it Jeff? It'd be a nice tribute to Mr. Kaplan.

Missed opportunity of calling it “git”

We use Perforce.

Is it because git is a bit bad for dealing with anything that isn't text?

It's mostly because we've used Perforce for a very long time, since Project Titan.

We manage our asset pipeline outside of Perforce so we don't have as much consideration for how well the VCS handles large or binary files, but that is a common reason for why many game studios use Perforce.

Cheers!
