Don't know if that is a possible solution for you, but you can keep
e.g. a zipped version of your binary file in svn. Upon checkout the
file needs to be unzipped. Together with an 'ignore' on the unzipped
file you can change the unzipped file as much as you want. Only
if you zip the file the zipped file would be committed again. Actually
it doesn't even have to be zipped, just renamed. But if it's zipped
it makes it harder to accidentally change it. Of course this method
depends on if it's workable to have a file unzipped after checkout.
