Hi, we're happy to help you here, but you're really abusing subversion. It's a version control system, not a generic distribution system for "release packages". It should contain source code -- like rpm or deb definitions, but not the binary packages themselves. And definitely not whole ISO images! This is why we have the "downloads" feature -- precisely for creating and distributing release packages. Do you think you can reorganize things to follow best practices, and make heavy use of the downloads-system instead? The rule of thumb is that "derivable" things (binaries, object code, releases) don't go into source control, only "non-derivable" things (like code and package definitions), since those are the things that actually need change-tracking. The derived stuff doesn't need change-tracking, because well, they can be derived from the tracked sources. :-)
