Absolutely, but Subversion will treat the document as a picture
[or any other binary file]. IOW, you will retain all prior versions
of the document, but won't be able to merge differences between two
versions of a document.
Yes. This development is to solve that problem:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/odfsvn/
ODF files are plain text (xml) files simply zipped up.
The project aims to create a dynamic zip/unzip process as files are
checked in/out of subversion thereby enabling full version control of
the *contents* of the odf files - not just a blob.

This is interesting.
I did read an article some time ago about using GIT instead of SVN.
This may be useful.
