Google has talked extensively about how they do Source Control, and it's freaking brilliant: Perforce for source control. A FUSE file system. You configure it to point at a revision (or at head) of a branch (almost everyone is always on the main branch). Then it makes a drive (or folder) look like the Perforce repository, but read-only. It caches files as you read them. Then, if you try to make, modify, or delete an asset, it stores those locally, but makes it appear to be in the same directory as the rest of the repository. I think this would be perfect for art assets.
