Sound advice for any sort of large artifact, or in the case where
automated scripts will push commits into a repository on a regular
(sometimes frequent) basis.

It not only keeps the size down and gives you the option to do extreme
"resets" to the separate repository, but it also keeps the log history
of the original repository from being polluted with all of the automated
commits.

We do this on the servers that we version control using FSVS. There are
sections of the directory tree which need to be heavily monitored for
changes (such as configuration reports), but which don't need to pollute
the main SVN repository for that machine.
