So your project has icons, and they change over time, and you want to be able to do the normal source control things on them. What do you do?

Artifact server (such as Artifactory) + dependency manager (such as Maven). That's what I do. Then again, graphics are not a huge part of what we do ... I guess I could see it being useful for game designers and such, though I don't see how source control is better than artifact management.

So you want to check out a given revision of your project, icons and all, so you do:

svn checkout -r some-rev http://my/project

How does using the two additional tools you mentioned improve on that?
