using subversion to manage media files

Greetings,

I would like to use svn to manage some media files, however it appears
that the working copy is going to be unacceptably large (on the order of
2 times the size of the actual files).

% ls disk/album
song_01
song_02
song_03
song_04
song_05
song_06
song_07
song_08
song_09
song_10

% svnadmin create repo

% svn import disk/album file:///home/mzagrabe/repo/album -m 'import'

% svn checkout file:///home/mzagrabe/repo/album working/album

% du -sh disk repo working
52M disk
52M repo
104M working

Is there a way to get the storage requirements of the working copy to
(roughly) the same size as the "disk" requirements?

TIA,
