If I remember my Cadence environment, it's mainly based on binary source
files. Subversion can version binary files but it cannot manage binary
files very well. If your disk space is cheap then use it. If you are in
my situation with 10s of designers and 100s of megs per design then your
disk space usage is growing very quickly.
There is currently only a crude mechanism to delete older, unwanted
revisions of binary files by dumping the entire repository, filtering
out the unwanted items and then reloading it.
