Hi,

here, you can find a book about svn:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

SVN is not a 'project management'-software as you explain it but a tool
for version control, so it doesn't have any explicit deployment features
like uploading stuff. The usual way to handle this would be to have your
project 'checked out' at your deployment location which requires svn to
be installed there. From that time on, you can handle all your updates
via svn.

SVN is perfectly suitable for small and big projects (for example, the
complete Apache Repository with over 500.000 Revisions uses SVN) alike.
It handles binaries quite well and is the tool of choice of several
technologies (Trac, Ruby on Rails, Capistrano, etc.). I use it even for
the smallest of my works and never had any big problems with it.

Greetings
Florian
