[Cvsnt] using CVSNT for large binaries

[Koch Marc EXT]

Dear C=E9dric,

we use CVS with large binaries as well. When you have a chance
of writing the binary in ASCII text then you have a chance to
profit from CVS storage methods.

When the binary is a picture, let=B4s say a JPEG, then there is
no chance because all versions are stored in one single file
with a header containing version information.

To improve performance with binaries I highly recommend to use
CVS in pserver mode on a server with fast harddisks and a RAID array.

Best regards,

Marc

We are using CVSNT for all our sources and the binaries used in our project=
.

- For all the binaries we store we never need to keep previous versions jus=
t the latest
- some are quite large (4 Mo) and as the number of versions rise cvs perfor=
mance suffer for those files

Is there away to tell cvs for those files that we just want to keep the lat=
est version ?
or is there away to destroy intermediate versions by an "intelligent" batch=
 ?

Thanks for your time.
