RE: Size problem

Hridyesh,

CVSNT (Unix, Linux, Windows GPL, Open source, free) can store binary
diffs on the server and therefore saves a lot of space.  In fact this is
exactly the reason for the feature.  You need to have the file format
set to -kB (-kb is the compatible "fat" method).

The correct place for questions about CVSNT is here:

Regards,


Arthur Barrett

Subject: Size problem


We are facing following problems
1.      In our wrapper file we have mentioned *.mcp.so this type of file
always checked in as a binary .but when we check-in xyz.mcp.xml(which
should
not be checked in binary) ,cvs treat this file also as a binary. Is
there
any way so that we can checkin xyz.mcp.xml file as a text file?
2.      we are facing a size problem of  binary files.The actual size of
binary files are in MB (when we checkout) ,while in cvsserver the size
of
same files become in GB due to lot of revision. In each revision size of
binary file become multiple of 2. Due to this problem synchronization
taking
too much time.Is there any workaround for this problem?

Thanks in advance..
Hridyesh
