If you are not interested in auto-merges (can only be used on 'real' text
based files anyway), why not consider using collaboration suites like MS
Sharepoint?

Look through the manual and read up on autoprops (setting the svn:mime-type
and svn:needs-lock properties based on extension). There's hardly anything
else to do before you can start using Subversion with binary files (meaning
