Hello, I'm after some "best practice" for handling directories of large
files.
I have a repository with a directory that contains tarballs of various
packages I use. This directory is huge. If I wish to add to this directory
I have to check out the entire directory, add files to the working copy and
check back in. Is there a better way to do this? Typically the files here
are added but never modified.
Similarly, I have a directory containing iso images. This directory also
contains build scripts that make the iso images using stuff I have
elsewhere in subversion. To change the build scripts I have to check out
the entire directory, make my changes to the build script working copy and
check back in. This can mean checking out gigabytes of data just so I can
change one line of script. Some files here need to be modified, but the
vast majority don't.
My repo looks like:
repo
iso
build_script
readme
iso_release1.iso
iso_release2.iso
iso_release3.iso
packages
package1.tar.gz
package2.tar.gz
package3.tar.gz
package4.tar.gz
...
Perhaps I am doing this with an incorrect repository structure and I
misunderstand how svn should be used. Any help and guidance would be
greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
John
