If I understand it correctly, two versions of the same file will take the
same space as one version even if there is only one byte difference.  This
is no worse than CVS, which we are currently using to control our binary
files, but I think that Subversion does binary diffs.

Is any configuration required to use this proposed feature (e.g. how do you
specify where the cache is?)?  If so, could you add a description and an
example of the configuration on the wiki?

Thanks, Stephen
