Hmmm... perhaps we really need an `exclude' clause (e.g. for a non-repository ``~ncvs/tmp'') in CTM. > And I don't see you complaing about the 2.8MB of file deletes CTM > should have just told you to go do (or did for you, I am not very > intune with if that feature got added) Of course, it does it for me... and i've noticed it. I've rather been wondering why it could have been so broken to create such a huge delta just for the sake of removing some files, until i finally saw that the real reason for the huge blurb has been an erroneously picked file. Well, the next delta will only contain the FR (file remove) instruction. :-) (Oh no, i won't remove it by hand, this will confuse CTM. ;) > If 455Kbytes is a problem for you, how did you mange the 190MB (45MB > compressed) to get the repository in the first place? I've got it per tape (from Jordan directly). ;-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
