First, ask yourself "why should I add a .pst file to CVS?". CVS is not a 
backup system, nor a "shared area". CVS is a version control system. Do 
you really need version control for your outlook file, or a backup?

Large binary files are a problem with any VCS. If they store deltas, 
each commit requires to calculate the delta. If they don't, each commit 
will require a lot of space.
