Hi all, Sorry I haven't replied in a while, I have been away on holidays and was at linux.conf.au the other week.
I went to a talk at linux.conf.au about Google's additions to svn and talked to the presenter afterwards about using SVN with very large projects, he suggested possibly git or really better would be just custom building your own solution. At this stage I am leaning towards taking a further look at using git and probably building an asset management system that you use in conjunction with git for the version control.
