I don't understand. Why do you expect subversion to be better?
Because subversion does not download all versions since the beginning
of time, when you actually only need the latest one to build.
Perhaps, but it still stores all the versions since the beginning of
time somewhere--presumably on the server--so that just confines the
problem to one machine instead of all distributed copies.
Right. That is the most sensible way to do it, IMHO. *Storing* a few
gigabytes is no problem at all, giving people random access to it is
also fine. The problem is *transmitting* those gigabytes to everyone
who just needs a small fraction of it.
If so, why do you need to store its history? Why not store it
outside of GIT?
Putting the image (and the example projects) in a different place
would make sense - hence my inquiry for a subversion repository.
What I meant to suggest is to store it outside any version control
system. Place it somewhere wget accessible and you're done.
Then I would have to manage the image versions manually. That's
exactly what a version control system is for.
