Hey Christian,

Being far from SVN these days, I end up being the last to update so I
only just downloaded all the .tif files you recently committed to the
SVN. While others have commented on this, perhaps this has not gotten
back to you yet.


You should *not* be committing data to the SVN without good reason. 

We have all made this mistake and recently we just spent a bunch of time
cleaning up the SVN after ourselves so you are not the first. I am
surprised you did not read about this in the Developer's Guide---when
Confluence comes back up I'll go look and make sure this admonition is
there. Also it's too bad your mentor didn't look over your commits
before you made them to make sure they were clean---please talk to your
mentor when you are about to do anything unusual.

Obviously, you need data for testing. Please look at the sample-data
module to see if you can reuse what is there. If you can not, then we
should add the minimal amount of data to that module so you can work.
You should decide what you need and send an email to the list asking
everyone if this makes sense. Note that if you need to have massively
large images, to cut up, mosaic or otherwise manipulate, you should
generate those on the fly from smaller fragments for your test.

For now, you should remove the files from the SVN so we don't each have
them in all our working copies. The elegant way to do this would be to
back out all your work to the last commit prior to adding the files.
Then you can re-commit all that work other than the images. You'll have
to learn how to commit reverse patches: ask your mentor and use the svn
book as your friend. Doing this well will allow us easily to clean up
the repository itself.

thanks,
  adrian
