I checkout the sandbox for a given date et voila: I find the submitted tar.gz or zip file of the original proposal and can compare the discussion against this package.
There is an other advantage, too: Since SVN has binary diff storage, the disk usage is lower than in a simple file repo. I really recommend to hold *any* file under SVN. Also I like the many extra possibilities like e.g. WebDAV access (davfs2, etc. )
Both for the diffing purpose and for repo size (a small change in a zip, can change the archive a lot, invalidating the smartness of svn binary diff), I think zips should be avoided (forbidden?) in the repository.
Maybe, but that sort of invalidates one of the useful things about the vault. Maybe it'd be better to use trac wiki attachments for .zip files. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
