Hi !
In the same project, I have ASCII source files, for which history
management works perfectly, and a 300k binary file. (still not too
big, but my question is general, so you can do as if it were a 3MB
file instead)
I'm using Arch for multiple sites development, so I have to commit
this binary file quite often, which adds around 150K to the archive.
After a few days working on this file, the archive becomes rather big,
just because of this file.
I would like to tell Arch « OK : Keep this file in the archive, but
forget about revision patch-1, patch-2, patch-3, patch-5 and patch-6.
Only base-0, patch-4 and patch-7 are important now ».
I'm affraid I can't do that on a single file with Arch.
Probably with a one-file archive, with a snapshot branch doing tags to
the main branch from time to time, and fast archive cycling on the
main branch, this would do it.
What's the best solution ?
Thanks,
[ Note : This is a non-blocking problem, but I like to use the best
solution for a problem. I'll describe it in the arch reciepes
section of the wiki when I've found it.]
