RE: How well does CVS handle other types of data?

[Chris Cameron]

How do you KNOW you're pulling in the correct resource for the particular
icon etc.  Does each change in an icon result in a new resource file?  How
do you ensure that you can always exactly recreate a previous release or
does 'exactly recreate' only apply to your source code?
