Another tool to think about is PRCS.  If your database objects are binary,
and they probably are, then PRCS (which is built on Xdelta differencing
engine which is patterned after the differencing engine in rsync...) may
do a much better job of conserving space and handling binaries than CVS.
I know nothing about subversion, so I'll be checking it out in a minute.
You'll find PRCS included in the Xdelta release.  At the site you may
also find beta versions of PRCS 2.x.
