Git has support for binary patches. They are base85 encoded, but you have to enable them explicitely (like renames) with --binary. As for merges, there is the combined diff format. It has more than one cell at the beginning to indicate more than one "new" file (we do not use this format for merges, but rather for conflicts, but you could easily invert that meaning).
