The big problem with Subversion is that you cannot (easily) remove information once it is in the repository. Yes, I know that binaries are stored in delta format, but each revision takes up a ton of room anyway. I found it better to use a release manager for storing releases. We used Nexus (which is really for Maven, but you can use it for other purposes). This way, we can easily remove obsolete revisions and use the web interface to search and download releases we need. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
