50MB binary blob in Roxen CVS? Stephen R. van den Berg <srb[at]cuci[dot]nl> 23-06-2008
Excuse me for asking, but is including a 50MB Yahoo UI tar.gz blob
directly into Roxen CVS a Good Thing (tm)?

I mean, I understand the necessity to build upon a stable version etc,
but this seems like a rather ugly solution to me, considering the whole
git repository was/is no more than 20MB (compressed) before adding this
blob.

Alternative solution would be to include the YUI in unpacked form (which
has its drawbacks as well, I understand), or simply keep it as a
separate file.  Then again, maybe current practice is best, even though
it looks like a rather "unbalanced" solution.
