How to handle EXE
user name

Hi all,

Each time I compile my project a new 8MB EXE is generated.

I wouldn't like to commit it to svn each time I make a build, because 100 commits will become 800 Mbytes.

But I DO want to commit it SOMETIMES, to have an available EXE for release versions.

I tried committing the EXE only when needed, but this way I always have it listed on the status as modified, which is annoying.

More annoying is with Tortoise, where I always have a "!" mark on the project's folder, due to the not-committed exe.

I'll appreciate your advices about this.

Thanks

It may not be if you copy an old exe into the new exe
location and put the new 
exe on top of it, then svn will do a binary diff between the
old and new exe's 
and save space.

If you do a fresh add for each exe, then there won't be any
space savings.
