Repository size is limited by available disk space only.

RCS file size is limited by:
- Available free RAM (because CVS does much of its work in memory and loade the RCS file into memory)
- Some obscure limitation to about 2 Gb is there too, I believe

But if you have a Gb sized RCS file you are in big trouble anyway, because any CVS operation involving this file will likely be very slooooooow.... 


Best regards,

Subject: [cvsnt] Size limits.

Can anyone tell me if there are any known size limits on the CVSNT server.
I've been asked about this as part of a review of the tools we are using which is proposing use of CVSNT for some projects for which it has not previously been used.
 
Would I be right in assuming that there is no limit on the number of files in any repository, apart from any restriction in posed by Windows ?
Is there a size limit on any individual RCS file ?  Or can that increase until the disk is full ?  Yes this is unlikely to occur, especially with source code files, but the system will also hold binary files, for documents and executables, and in that case the increase in file-size per revision will be bigger than for the text files, even if they use binary differences, and we just want to be sure whether there's a known size limit.
 
 
Appreciatively,
Richard.
