Binary files and versioning storage space
I have a pre-sales customer asking the following two questions. I researched the forum and found a discussion on binary files and file locking (future feature) but did not see a discussion about size requirements.
1. Are binary files stored efficiently (PowerPoint for example)? 2. Can I control the number of versions of a binary file I want to retain? That is set a limit of the last 30 revisions for example? I want to retain the meta-data for all versions but conserve storage for these binary (PowerPoint) files. ================ However, we won't have file locking for 1.0, so you'll need to coordinate your edits, for example via chat/mail, to avoid conflictings edits. Now if you happen to edit concurrently, it isn't a problem, you'll get a chance to resolve but without a merge tool, you'll have to pick a version to move forward." |
One answer
1. Yes, we store as binary delta.
2. No. 3. Locking is being implemented in 2.0. You can read about it's design in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/LockingVersionables Jean-Michel |
