Is graphic designer even going to be able to merge things in their files?

It seems that "overwrite my files by data in repository" "apply my changes with message" are all what is necessary? Or is it case of multiple nontechnical people editing files together and expecting to merge changes?

Git merges by default when you pull, for one.

Another extremely common pain is trying to "delete" a local commit.
