I haven't looked at it, but is the WinCVS method a script?

"Get a bigger hard disk" is probably the "official" method, since you're talking about the history of your source code files. That said, I think your approach sounds reasonable -- the WinCVS script doesn't delete all old revisions, just 'insignificant' ones (no tags / branches attached to them) AFAIK. -- Glen Starrett
