I don't get it. How would you implement a DAM solution with
a version control system? Binary only files in a source code
repo? AFAIK subversion uses mod_dav metadata storage (when
using the apache server backend -- please correct me if this
changed). This is an o.k. solution for use cases where you
just need queries of the type: "all metadata related to resource x".
How would subversion answer questions like: "list all resources
created in France between 1402 and 1437 by flemish painters"?
Or: "All resources for which there is more than one scan"?
