Don't think this is best practice, but I have positive experience with 
the following approach:

- consider to put the directory typo3conf/ext/ into svn as top level
- create an base extension containing all your TypoScript code using 
the <INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: ... > feature (nested inclusion is supported) 
and put every asset (html, image, css, js, etc.) needed for the page 
setup (not the content) into the extension as well.
- add 3rd party extensions to svn as well
- put everything you need to be in svn into the typo3conf/ext/ folder 
and use symlinks. If you want to have the typo3conf/extTables.php file 
in svn put it into typo3conf/ext/extTables.php and create an according 
symlink. You could even include a custom core, if you needed to patch it 
and link to it from the webroot.

Just some thoughts ;-)
