ok thanks to clarify.
I need it mostly for binaries (images and meshes) so I guess it is not ideal
then.
too bad, I though I found the ideal free software I was after...
cheers

The answer is, it depends. If you are going to be the only one accessing the
repository, then no. You can just create a repository on your location
machine and access it from there. You can also run svnserver on a work
station to allow remote PCs access to it.

Once again, SVN uses an optimistic locking scenario rather than pessimistic.
This works very well for text based files. Not so much for binaries...
although svn can be used to version binary files, the merging doesn't really
work out.
