Python has a similar package build system based around a directory structure with a 'setup.py' at its root - you may have seen this if youve ever installed a python package from source. This python script enables you to do things like 'python setup.py build' and 'python setup.py install' to build and install the package, as well as run tests, build distributable archives and so on. There's probably a way to get a boilerplate package structure all ready to start developing but I cant think what it is off the top of my head. SVN and most other version control systems will play nicely with text-based program development, so get checking in your python, matlab, and unix scripts. If LabVIEW has a binary format then you can normally check these in but you won't get meaningful 'diffs' out of the system to see what has changed between revisions.
