cvs binary files to only one copy

I would like to cvs some binary files with the -kb option, but they are
so large that I
would like to only retain the current/latest copy.  So if I get newer
copies of these
database files from the source I get them from, I would like the cvs
commit to
replace the existing files with the new files to keep the cvs repository
from getting
too large.   So basically the cvs would only be one file deep for these
files
(I'm assuming that since cvs doesn't do binary files in diff'ed format
like it does
with non-binary files, it just stores the entire file)

Is there a way to do this?

thanks
Mark
