Version control in physics research: a pile of printed documents
Collaboration in physics research: hand-written notes on margins of said pile
The issue with git etc is that everyone involved has to understand how it works and accept and appreciate the benefits over the system outlined above (which works quite well for papers with few authors). If even one author doesn't care, you cannot implement the system. And good luck getting professors to care about things that aren't research or funding.
