I use cvs to maintain a bigish website, complete with images. It is not
space efficient though. Modern cvs implementations spot binary files and
treat them differently from what I can tell.
On the subject of audio diffing, its hard. The problem is that there are
lots of ways that audio can be a "bit" different; partial amplitudes, PCM
data, phase shifts, bit errors, dropped frames etc.
I have written a few quick-hack PCM diffing tools, but they are all special
purpose.
