Sounds like a bad idea to me. While Subversion ma ybe capable of
versioning all your content and even deliver authorization and access
facilities, DMS's provide much more: Configurable processes and
workflows, document format conversion for example to PDF, tagging of
documents, preview for documents, clients/integration for different
purposes like Sharepoint, Office et.c and some even collaboration on
authoring documents. You may don't need all this now, but for future
development in you company in my opinion it would be better to start
with a real DMS right now. Subversion may be better suited for some
kind of backend storage. There are lot of free DMS out there.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
