What I did was: - Graph file - Use the select insignificant function - Go over the tree and unselect mergepoint revisions etc that should be kept - Then I used the dlete revision command Now the fish started swimming forever, after several minutes I could see in the feedback window that one revision had been removed. But the selected revisions were about 65 or so. So I had to cancel the operation. Apparently this function takes forever (in today's parlance) so it is not really an option to use on binary files... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
