One thing that I've found with Bitkeeper: it doesn't play nicely with Frame. My IT guy told me that rather than track only changes, it saves the entire binary each time, so that your revision control directory can become quite large quite rapidly.

That's going to be true of any binary format and pretty much any general-purpose revision-tracking program.

It's not a matter of "playing nicely." Without explicit knowledge of the native storage format, the revision-tracking program cannot track changes--it can only note different file sizes and record the entire document as a single change.
