Others have already replied, but I wanted to provide yet another affirmation that Subversion works great for web development -- I've been using it for years -- provided you use it properly, and not the way you've described. There are many, many threads in this mailing list's archives over the years that explain ways of using Subversion for web development; you can do a search here:

http://svn.haxx.se/user/

There is a FAQ entry that is relevant:

http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#website-auto-update

There is a tool SVN::Notify::Mirror that is helpful for deploying web sites:

Also please read the Subversion book:

http://svnbook.org/

and allow yourself to be convinced that most of the methods described there are indeed applicable even to web development. Good luck.
