The problem with Subversion for [complete system backup], and why it won't work too great outside of configs, is that it doesn't store owner/group or permissions at all.
shouldn't be too hard to add. As well as some repo-repo rsync scripting such as available (for sale? not sure) from wandisco. Or an 'svn ignore' primitive that adds file names to the ignore property :)
the problem with svn patches is that everyone who uses svn is too busy working on whatever they're using it for to be motivated to add incremental improvements :)
