Binaries files like divX should be uploaded in your download area, not in 
your CVS. You can use rsync with your download area. 
 
Just a question: do you have to right, legally, to distribute these divX? 
While I'm personally not against sharing and I understand the purpose of 
these divX for your project, Savannah cannot host illegal files.

My project (aleader.nongnu.org) has a _big_ web site. 
i include about 270 short film clips which take nearly
100M of disk space.  To see it in action, browse to:

http://why-compete.org/empathy.html

(i'm currently hosted on www.berlios.de.)

All web content is generated by perl scripts.  So i'm
happy to put my scripts in CVS, but i need to update my
web site by rsync.  Given my slow internet connection,
there is no other way.  i don't think CVS will be happy
to swallow lots of 2.5M DIVX files anyway.

So is this possible on savannah or am i stuck with
berlios.de?
