Thanks for the feedback on binary files guys. As I did more research I found that SVN, Hg and Baz don't have problems versioning binaries, the problem is the diff and merge of those file types. Today I started using TortoiseSVN and SVN has a nice system that alters the file names of the binary files that conflict during a merge allowing the user to eyeball them and decide which to commit. Another question as far as best practices. How much of the Joomla directory should I version? I wouldn't mind versioning the entire directory but in practice I know that out of those 5-6000 files there will only be a handful that actually would be modified and creating a working copy approximately doubles the size of the directory. I'm only beginning to think through all this and it would be great to hear what other people are doing. Thanks! Herb
