I have a large binary file which due to integration/automation issues I need to check into subversion. It makes no sense to track past versions of this file. Is there a way I could tell subversion to only store the latest revision and delete past revisions?
There isn’t currently any decent way of doing this. You need an
svn obliterate-type function which I believe hasn’t been written yet. Several people have written various scripts to achieve similar results, eg Subversion Obliterate feature but the general principle is the same: dump the svn database, pipe through a filter and back intosvnadmin load, which I suspect may be more work than you’re looking for.
