Probably because he prefers to do cvs operations on a local connection instead of over the network. It's a good strategy for people on slow or expensive links, even better than cvsuping the actual contents.. especially for developers. There are still lots of parts of the world where disk space is >100 times cheaper than bandwidth... and there are only a few where bandwidth is actually cheaper than disk. =) In any case, Joe Karthauser (cvs@ person) has removed all but the latest revisions on all of these plist's which should get rid of about 125MB or so of the extra data. I don't have any regret about losing the history considering what is gained. Sorry to all the people who downloaded this stuff before it became apparent. I hadn't realized how big the RCS file was.
