Binary file question

[Nicholas Allen]

Hi,

We are also considering using bazaar for other areas than just source 
code management. I was wondering how efficiently bzr stores changes to 
large binary files. As we are a music software company with have many 
large files such as waveforms and so on. Bzr is especially interesting 
for us here as well because one of our sound preset developers works 
from home and checks his changes into subversion. Sometimes one set of 
changes may be hundreds of MBs in size and this takes a very long time 
to transmit over network. Also it may not be accepted and svn often 
crashes trying to accept these large changes.

I know on the FAQ it says bzr can be used in this way but it is not a 
priority. But it would be really interesting for us because he could 
commit locally and sync up when he comes to work every few days.

Does bzr store a binary diff of the changes or would the repository 
simply grow to enormous proportions if it were used this way?

Cheers,

Nick
