It may not be designed as an archiving tool, but it's something that
Subversion handles well. At least as long as you want to keep the data
permanently (barring a repository dump/load with filtering). Archiving
is merely a bunch of add operations with very few modify/delete
operations.
One of the more egregious examples is using SVN to ship web server log
files back to the main office (permanent archival). The big advantage
over other more traditional methods is that you can treat the SVN
repository as a WORM device from the point of view of the web server.
Even if some attacker were to get into the web server and erase the log
files, they could do no more then create a delete revision in SVN.
Better, once the logs are in SVN, a bunch of other possibilities open up
and make use of the already implemented SVN repository access controls.
