Hmm.. I'm looking for a good repository because I'm tired of subversion, 
Perforce isn't an option to (very expensive and even more 
uncomfortable). It seems like there only Git/Mercurial are good options. 
Can you recommend some other scms?

I can't get rid of binary files because they are the "sources" of our 
artists work (the develop a game).
Splitting a repo can be an option, but it's very inconvenient for us.
