You really can't merge binary data, such as textures, meshes, audio, etc. It doesn't matter if you base64 encode the data and stuff it in a text file: it's a jumble of data (assuming this is the implication of what Blow did).
Tools that support non-destructive editing workflows could in theory provide limited diff and merge capabilities on their internal graphs pf non-destructive operations. E.g. Photoshop could in theory merge two files where unrelated layers have changed. But nobody is actually implementing this because it would be lots and lots of work.
