i just woke up so i'm kinda grouchy myself. need to remember to get a

fair enough :) currently only SimpleDbPersistenceManager and subclasses thereof
do support transactions. i guess BerkeleyDBPersistenceManager in contrib does
also but i didn't test it.
wrt externalBlobs=true: blobs in the file system are not stored within
the context
of a transaction, i.e. the changes in the fs wont be reverted on
rollback. if you do
need transaction support you have to specify externalBlobs=false.
as i suspected. i'll probably wind up testing blobs both externally
and db to see how different performance is. storing blobs in the db
would certainly be more robust, as we're discussing now, and it would
make the job of backing up the repository data easier, since we could
stick to the dbms' provided backup tools.
backup is another very interesting topic, of course, when you have
large numbers of nodes and blobs. i'll be doing some work here in the
next couple months and will share whatever i come up with.
Can you pls specify where is this setting available? (externalBlobs=true|false). I couldn't find it,
so sorry if it is right in front of me.
