CVS generally assumes straight ascii text files. This is fine if you
work on Unix style systems. But if you work on projects that include
binary files (e.g. pictures or Word documents) CVS transfers the file
unchanged.
Subversion has a special binary diff program that allows it to compare
binaries and only send the changes.
