I don't think any VCS will suit such a need. VCS are designed to track
changes by patchsets. Usually patches on binary files does not make sens
as they are not mergeable and their size is unpredictable. Therefore you
may want to hack-up an alternative solution for your big blobs, as
I don't know of any VCS designed with binary versionning needs in mind.
I think rsnapshot or rdiff-backup, with a central-lock mechanism on
push, will be a good start.

If you do so, I'd be very happy to know what you've done at the end, but
this would probably be off-topic here, so please feel free to mail me if
you want.
