Commit binaries

Hi,
I’m storing binary files in my repository. I know subversion should store only the differences even for binaries. However, it seems like every time I commit a change, the entire file size gets added to the repository.
Is there a configuration change I need to make?

Thanks

That really really depends on how different your binary file actually is. I haven’t really experimented it, but I’d think that it’ll store deltas.

Don’t think there might be some config option, but will look it up.

Have you tried experimenting by manually editing one byte in a binary file and checking it in ?

Didn’t try that approach. I’ll experiment with it and let you know.
