[SATLUG] CVS GUI

[Graichen, Othniel M Mr AMEDDCS]

Subversion uses no file-based embedded "tags" within the managed file,
so binary data is directly and efficiently handled.
Furthermore, it uses the Berkeley database engine so that file copies
and renames across subdirectory boundaries inherit the history of the
predecessor(s).  Its' storage requirements are low.

Thanks for the info, Othniel... I appreciate ya.  :)

It's also good to hear there's a Windows client... I won't need it, but
a few unenlightend friends might.  ;)

How is the system at handling "binary" data?  Like, say, can I wedge
wav's and tga's into it and associate them with a specific release, or
is that better suited for storage outside the system?

I've gotten a couple of other glowing reports on subversion, so it
sounds like it's something worth checking out.

Thanks agian,
