Using Subversion for binary distribution?

Having twice the binary distribution inside .svn files scattered all over
the place does bother me.  And I'm afraid svn diff on /sbin/init isn't
giving me real useful information.  For text files in /etc, /boot and
others, mercurial does that in place more efficiently then svn.
