(Ehem),  I've checked tar files as large as 380Mb into
our CVS repository and haven't had any problems -
other than the long time it takes to do pulls or updates
of that module especially over pserver.

I would recommend that if you need to archive tar files
that you put them in a separate module from the rest
of your source - so developers aren't getting stuck
updating the beast into their working copies....

Cheers,
Teala

The problem you're most likely to have is that when importing stuff into
CVS, CVS will make a copy of the module in /tmp.  If what you're
importing is bigger than /tmp, CVS will fail.

So, in your case, make sure /tmp on the CVS server is >30Mb.

But why check in a tarball?  Wouldn't it make more sense to check in the
individual files in the tar?
