I'm unconvinced about this - I don't believe you do want the compressed
files saved in SVN. The cost of storage per .js file is minimal, and
subsequent changes will be stored as deltas. The flipside is that devs
will then have to maintain a compressed file, which they probably won't
thank you for ;-)
I appreciate that since you're dealing with javascript files you
possibly don't have a build process such as you'd find with, say, Java
or Dotnet, but my recommendation would be to keep genuine source, i.e.
uncompressed javascript files in SVN, and worry about compression nearer
deployment. How do you deploy the javascript files? Could you use
something like Ant (ant.apache.org) and trigger the compression then?
Anyway, just my $0.02 NZD.
Cheers
