This question comes up reasonably often, and the answer is usually that
svn isn't designed to be a binary file distribution system, it's
designed to be a version control system. If you want to distribute
files but don't care about their history, you should be using something
like rsync instead.
It's generally not too hard to put an rsync call into the make file for
a project.
