cvs admin -o rev1:rev2 filename
This will permanently remove all revisions between rev1 and rev2 including these two.

Example:
cvs admin -o 1.2:1.24 mybigfile.bin
Will remove the revisions 1.2-1.24 inclusive of the file

Subject: [cvsnt] RCS file become too big



We have a binary file added to CVS. Because too many changes and commit operations are made on it, the commit operation now takes about 4 minutes to complete. 

Is there any tool that can be used to get rid of some version record in this file? or how to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help.
