It all depends upon the binary file type and why you're storing it.
If your build uses GIFs and JPGs, you need to store binary files on
Subversion. And, Subversion has n

Subversion does handle binary files without any problems. In uses the
property svn:mime-type on the file to mark it as a binary file, so it
knows not to attempt a text merge on the file.
Subversion does a good job with handling binaries. However, there is
issue that makes storing binary files in S

We are migrating teams off VSS and StarTeam to Subversion.
Some say that VSS ( Visual Source Safe ) has a diff that tells them that a
