I'd be very interested in hearing anyones experiences with using
Subversion to control larger binary files. There is currently
discussion at work about trying Subversion as a graphics and sound asset
version control system (along with code).
Is there any benefit of one system over the other when your repository
could be several gigs with multiple revisions? Any tips or things to
avoid would be appreciated.
Cheers
