It handles binary files just fine. It handles *large* files (text or binary) poorly though. Specifically I am referring to the Windows port (msysgit) which tries to compress files before sending them to the server; if it runs out of memory (which it will, since it's only a 32-bit application and so can only address a couple of GiB of RAM) then it dies with a typically obtuse error message.

git also has issues with large files.
the point at which a file gets large enough to cause problems (and what the problems are) are obviously different between the two.

Whoops! To clarify, I was referring to Git rather than "it" (hg) :)
