    Both cvs and subversion can handle binary files, although not very efficiently
    (although subversion claims so, I don't completely believe it).

    Its a problem to coherently store differences between such files where you don't
    understand the contents and thus can't make smart diffs, or where large parts of
    the file change to handle small changes.

    If the files don't change too much its still ok to use cvs or subversion (its
    mainly useful for handling bitmaps as part of program code).
