Aren't more CAD systems switching to some kind of text format, perhaps
stored compressed? Similar to OpenOffice, with its zipped XML files. If
not, it might be a good time to ask the vendors to do that, not only to
make Subversion's job easier, but to make sure your data isn't locked into
a proprietary binary format.
