I agree that it is awkward, and can seriously deteriorate the performance of some source control systems, but it is common and often necessary. I have even heard of some firms that put their compilers and build tools under source control as well, so that at any point in time in the future, they can go back and recreate a build, if they still have compatible hardware.  Some systems like Perforce really didn't deal well (as of ~5 years ago) with a large number of large binaries in the system.

Isn't it weird to put binaries under revision control?
