Git will, like any other version control system, store changes only.  
If you see complete files for each version in git, that's because git  
is lazy in tidying up it's repository and creates complete files on  
the fly, as needed.

A significant advantage over some of it's competitors is in your  
case, it works with a single private (.git) directory. Git works here  
for controlling binary files just fine. Binaries disallow merging, of  
course.
