Re: best way to update large blobs in svn

[Sorry for the non-reply. I'm not subscribed, just saw the thread while
looking for something else.]

gzip has (at least in debian) the parameter
    --rsyncable Make rsync-friendly archive

In your case you could try to archive you tarfile with a common name,
like "sources.tar" (uncompressed, or compressed with "--rsyncable").

If you need the versions referenced, just make tags.

For a new version just replace the file and re-commit (ie., no "add/remove"),
so subversion should be able to see that there are only some differences.

(That's what "--rsyncable" does - stop the compression at certain points, so
that some other program can match the parts again.)

HTH,

Regards,

Phil
