I would make crazy use of such a revision control. If it doesn't exist - where would to a good starting point for building one? I can probably make a lot of designs and interaction flows, but to implement it is another thing.
Would it be a good idea start by creating a macro to work with Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator? Or one of the online image editing tools?
Can anyone refer me to anyone working on one of the online image editing tools?

Raster images and music files make as much sense to Git as they would to you if you looked at the binary data contained in a . png or . wav file. So Git just takes all the data and makes a new copy of it, even if only one pixel changes from one photo to the next.
VSS by Microsoft is a Shared folder repository model based revision control tool. It supports Windows OS only. It is intended for small software development projects.
In the software development process, revision control, also known as version control or source control, is the management of changes made over time. These changes can be to source code, project assets, or any other information that goes into the finished product.
Subversion is actually pretty good for version controlling binary files. It's just about the only great strength it has over, say, Git (as far as I'm concerned, anyway). See this answer of mine for a more detailed explanation of that assertion.
ImageMagick has a compare command that shows you the pixel-by-pixel difference between two RASTER images. Vectored images might be trickier (unless you can look at an SVG source and immediately see the resulting picture). Unfortunately this doesn't really help you with Photoshop/Illustrator though.
If you're working under Windows, TortoiseSVN has an image comparison utility too.
