I use SVN for source version control. I'd like to start versioning my binary resources. Is SVN a good choice for this also? What are my alternatives? I'd like to use the same solution for both source control and resource control if possible.

SVN seems to work well with binary resources. That is to say, I've had no problems with it.

SVN works well with large binary files, and doesn't slow significantly from the client end with huge repositories(2GB+)

Beware though that administrative tasks(svnadmin etc) will take much longer if you have a lot of large revisions (i.e., with binary diff). But how often do you do that?
