I don't check in compiled versions of my code, but I've had occasion to check in Microsoft Office document files when they're each managed by only one person but accessed by everyone in a group. On one project, where I'm writing code to support specific versions of another application, I've version-controlled various files from their system, some binary, so that I can detect and follow changes in the system I'm keeping up with. Finally, I'm sure anyone who version-controls web sites will want to store images in the repo sometimes. In other words, there are reasons. :) -- Doug Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bartsite.com "Sometimes I think my learning curve is a circle." -- David Andrews _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
