Hey Ian, thanks again :)
I would like to know something else: What if you want to use trac as a
ticket interface between you and your client. Clients could login and send
tickets. However, let's say that I wouldn't like clients to see any code on
the svn. Is this level of granularity possible on trac?

Hi Marcelo,
SVN handles binary data in the same way as most versioning systems
i.e. not very well. (although better than CVS).
The trouble is that SVN has no built-in knowledge of what a binary
file (such as a fla) _is_, or how to compare it to previous versions;
it only knows that the file has changed, but doesn't know what has
changed (to do so would mean including a complete .fla parser in the
SVN code).
On the flip side, we've had no problems with SVN and .fla files - we
just use it to store them as we would any other binary asset. As long
as your project files are organised sensibly and you store the bulk of
your code as external .as files, you should be fine.
As an aside, later versions of TortoiseSVN (which we use for keeping
things in sync on our local machines) have diff views for some types
of images, which is neat.
The trac interface will give you previews of .jpg files and the
like, but won't do so for .flas or .swfs.
It sounds like we're doing similar sorts of projects to you, tho',
with some flas being used for layouts and assets, and we've coped fine
using trac without having to do any special workarounds for binaries.
HTH,
Ian
