Comment 37 for bug 109114

Any work around implementation that allows critical (large) binary files to be stored together with source code would be a massive improvement to usability.

The alternative is to force users to store critical files in two locations as well as manage the separation of them (ie. ignoring portions of the file set between each versioning or archiving system).

It is highly desirable for a developer to 'pull' a whole build-able file-set in one go. The kinds of projects I work on have anywhere from MBs to GBs of critical binary files.

If we lose quality compression or Diff on large files, so be it, that's pretty much how the old VCS worked anyway. That behavior can be improved in future.

So please, (wonderful BZR developers!) make it work now, and make it great later.
