I am managing an open source computational fluid dynamics program using GoogleCode, and I have a question about PDF files. The documentation for the program is written in LaTeX, and the LaTeX source files (text) are kept under version control. However, there are 1000's of relatively small PDF figures that get embedded in the documents. These figures are plots and graphs that are recreated each time we issue a new release of the software. In essense, our verification and validation process is documented by including updated figures in the manuals. The problem is, each time we re-run these calculations and regenerate the figures, there are slight changes, and we worry that eventually the repository will get overloaded. As a result, we do not commit most of the figures to the repository. Rather, we just commit the relatively small scripts necessary to regenerate all the figures. This works OK, but it requires that everyone on the team re-run these calculations to get the latest figures, and that takes a bit of time. So my question is -- is there a way to store these PDF files as part of the project for easy access by all members of the project. The files need not be kept under version control. Thanks.
