Just my thoughts. Git is supposedly a dumb content tracker, so it looks like it's just asking for it.
And btw, I didn't knew of git-notes, thanks for the pointer!

to make this work well in git you would need to make a diff function that would handle the EXIF metadata appropriately (so that if you change a EXIF tag git doesn't think the entire file is different)

this isn't a huge undertaking, but I'm not aware that anyone has done it yet.

Even after you do this you may have grief with large repositories.
