I know XCode supports Subversion, Is the support good average,

What about storing other data in a Subversion Repository. I would
also store revisions of my websites, Binary releases of the
products I create, zip files, etc. Is this an OK use and reliable?
What about storing Word documents and PDF's to tract revision
history? I could do this in CVS.

As for files: in general you can think of Subversion as a better
CVS. I save all sorts of files in it.
I'd echo that. Subversion is easy to set up, powerful, and you can
import all your CVS history from it (though depending on the
complexity of your branching structures, you might need to do a few
attempts). One great advantage over CVS is that you don't need to
worry about defining files as text or binary. See http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/features.html
for the conversion tool.
If you are using it for lots of other sorts of files in different
locations then I would look beyond Xcode as a client -- I've been
using SmartSVN quite reliably, though there are others (free and
commercial). I find Xcode's support useful for doing a quick diff
or log of a particular file in a project, but for any other
operations I'll do them in the client.
