mechanism other than a VCS (version control system)? Maybe, like, a hammer, or a shovel? But not a VCS. Definitely not. VCSes are not for versioning data, no, no. Shovels are for that. Dig a hole, snatch your data, mark the place with a rock. And you're done.

In my mind, there's a real use case for different handling of smaller,
textual artifacts and larger blobs. Maybe one could call the DVCSs as they exist now incomplete, but I would say the same for the centralized systems where I feel my ability to interrogate textual history is agonizingly slow (and, of course, requires network access).
No need to lean so heavily on the expansion of a TLA to make biting remarks.
