Deleting an artifact from the repository permanently


Ori Ratner (3123) | asked Dec 17 '08, 4:19 p.m.
In the past we've had trouble with SVN because it's extremely difficult to remove items from the repository that we no longer want in source control taking up disk space.

Example: a user accidentally commits a several GB disk image from an installer into source control, or we wish to archive an old project and dump its change history (or at least move it to a separate tape backup off the main CM server).

How does Jazz address this problem? Can you delete changesets permanently, or move old changesets/development lines/whatever to a separate archival server?

We do not support deleting versionables, change sets or components yet.
