Rational Team Concert source control and Binary files.
Is there a recommended approach for RTC source control for binary files?. for example binary files could include Crystal report templates, some report templates, and other corrspondence templates like Adobe Forms templates. RTC does not know how to merge the templates when dealing with Multiple releases. |

RTC or not, do you know any source control system can merge binary files? I am quite curious about it.

In general, version control systems are content-agnostic (with an exception of text files, such as source code). Merging of arbitrary binary files in not possible without the knowledge of the internals of the particular file format.
I am not entirely sure what you mean by recommended approach. Things are very simple - you can keep these files in source control, bearing in mind that incremental versioning is not supported/possible. |
