The purpose of this was to check the performance of cvsnt binary deltas. So I started out with an exe file in my live cvs server with 122 revisions and -kb. This CVSMailer.exe,v file is 11689 kb. I updated a sandbox with every single revision, copied it to a sandbox from my test server where the file was -kB and committed it. The result after committing all 122 revisions is a ,v file with size 4644 kb, only 40% of the original file! Quite a difference. HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
