I am wondering about removing old revisions from our files in cvs. One of our managers thinks that be retaining all of the old revisions we are incurring overhead in our cvs interactions. We have rather large repositories and quite a few of the members have many revisions. It seems to me that I recall reading someplace in the past that removing old revisions is not a very wise thing to do. Does anybody have any thoughts or advice on this subject? Is it a common practice or not? Is it dangerous? Is there any performance degradation by not removing old revisions? Thanks you, John Elgin _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list info-cvs@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
