Yes, although I generally groan when someone replies to a question with,
"I don't know why anyone would want to do that",
this time, I tend to agree !

If you are using Subversion to give you flexible access to and
control over your source files, then there should be no call
to also on a regular basis store the derived/build files,
since they can be immediately regenerated from source.

Plus the fact the the source should be 'authoritative' i.e.
if there is a conflict you always go back to the source.

Another possibility might be a better 'make' system so that only
source files that had changed needed to be rebuilt and relinked:
if the reason you were wanting to save built files was to
reduce rebuild times.

Alternatively a simple backup system to save all your working directories
in case of disaster, or as a checkpoint of a release build if you need
the files to be absolutely the same as your release.
