I'm a very happy Subversion user and svnsync. The discussion here seems a bit narrow and I think the group would benefit from this testimonial.
My multimedia repository protects my family archive of digital photos and video and mp3/ogg. I've been using it successfully to manage my multimedia files since Jan. 2008. I often keep a svnsync'ed copy at work to have an off-site backup. I've even trained my children to move their "childish silly photos" into their own sub-directory hierarchy.
I've been using svnsync off-site for smaller, regular files since 2006.
I used to use CVS/DCVS for my digital archive, but DCVS stopped being supported and with more disk space available on laptops, these days, I can store a Subversion working copy of my music collection and pay the Subversion working copy penalty of storing each file twice.
