Ofcourse it is no problem to add binary files to SVN; I do it myself all
the time. But I was talking about VERY LARGE binary files.

I know of two reasons why it MIGHT be a problem:

1) The delta engine in SVN works better for plain text files than for
binary files. I think this is because binary files tend to differ more
between two revisions than text files.

2) SVN keeps a base copy of every file in your working copy in the
".svn" directory, so if you checkout a very large file it will exist at
least twice on your hard disk. I can imagine this can be problematic.
