Binary Files
CVS made you jump through hoops when dealing with binary files, but not SVN:
: jmglov@laurana; svn add gentoo-matrix-aq-1024x768.jpg
A (bin) gentoo-matrix-aq-1024x768.jpg
Look at that! SVN noticed that my JPEG is a binary file, and will handle it as such
SVN's DeltaV algorithm can actually handle “diffs” of binary files, so having lots of revisions does not bloat the repository like it would in CVS, which has to store the entire file for every revision!
