I have some large (100MB or so each) binary files that I'd like to save in Subversion. They change frequently but I'm only ever interested in the last 5 revisions for example.

Subversion presently has no mechanism for doing this. Once it's in the
repository, it's there for good (unless you forcefully remove it with
svnadmin dump/svndumpfilter/svnadmin load, which is like doing brain
surgery with a butcher's knife).
