Committing 100 meg text files to svn with mail notifications
Posted on December 14, 2005
It's a bad thing.™ I figured it was smart enough not to send huge data files. I was wrong. Talk about chaos. See on Framewerk we have svn mail changeset notifications including the changeset diff to a mailing list. So imagine a 100 meg email being virus scanned, spam checked, then sent to mailman. Mailman then would send the file which would be virus scanned, spam checked, then sent out. Yeah, it's not a pretty thing. I think I need to zip data files that make it in the svn repository. ClamAV isn\'t CPU friendly on 100 meg database dumps.
