This comes back to the point of my first post - I'm looking for an
*easy* to manage system to keep track of one directory of files that
are updated once in a while.  We're not working on a huge code base
with multiple branches, etc.  I suppose we can check in the files
inside the .tar.gz separately but was hoping to avoid that since the
contents of this binary are maintained by a different department.  I'd
really rather keep it intact as it is.

Will SVN be better equipped to cope with large binaries?  I don't
understand why CVS chokes on a 1GB file when all it has to do is move
it from one directory to another.  I even gave this machine 3Gb of
swap so it had 5Gb of total memory space available but it still dies
when doing a cvs checkout.
