We have noticed that when we tag a binary file, CVS makes a copy of
it to do the tagging operation. Problem is, the copy is in the
file's directory - not a common space like /tmp.
This becomes an issue for us because we have some ,v binaries that in
the 100s of Mbs in size. We run out of repository space when the
users try to tag these files.
Is there any way to tell CVS to use /tmp instead? Better yet ... any
way to change this behaviour?
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
