question: Not archiving binaries, but just keeping the latest copy?

Vesa,

Indeed, it sounds like you want rsync. Subversion is for version control, which means it keeps a copy of EVERY single version. There is a binary diffing algorithm that is implemented that should help keep down file size. However, you should run tests with some different versions of the same file to see what kind of sizing requirements you'll actually have.

Subject: question: Not archiving binaries, but just keeping the latest
copy?

Hello,

Can subversion be used in a mode, where it does not store different
versions of binaries (or files), but just keeps the latest copy
available on server?

The company I work for has a set of big files, which change quite
often. In our case, usually only the latest version of the file is
relevant. So is it possible to configure svn so that only the latest
version is available? I would like to save disk space on server.

Additionally, can svn be configured so that only tagged and the latest
versions are available on server?

Or I am looking into a wrong tool, should I just use rsync instead and
only store the to-be-tagged-files to svn?

Thanks,

Vesa
