Try that with git.
My last company did just that. The repository wound up being 30gb at the end of the project (which was a 3d facebook game). We tried to host on a company hosted github, but got kicked off because it couldn't deal with a repository that size[1]. Luckily, we only had one person try to check out the repository at the end of the project. It took them 14 hours for the initial check out.
[1] It was never made clear to me whether it was our hardware that had the problem or the github self hosted software. Either way, it was unreasonably slow.
