Binary management
     

    




  • 
Problem


    

    • 
Binary files don't "diff" well


      

    • 
Revision history grows too fast


    

    

  • 
Solution


    

    • 
Hybrid model of sparsely populated revision histories


      

    • 
Looks like normal BK but data is not in revision history file


      • 
Local repository is populated on demand


      • 
Go to a "binary server" to get the data


      

      

    • 
Multiple models


      • 
None, tip only, tagged only, all


      • 
Caching so that any files gotten are now local
