Hi All,

I have a question from a MacHg user (A graphic designer who wants to use big binary photoshop files amongst other eg html files, etc ).

Basically it comes down to which is the best big files extension at present. The ones I know about are:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BfilesExtension
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/SnapExtension
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BigfilesExtension

Use case would be basically they just want the extension to be as transparent as possible.

What are the pros / cons of the different extensions. Is there a comparison article I have missed while goggling?

(See the original message: http://groups.google.com/group/machg_mercurial/browse_thread/thread/15b2757ff05ba93b for details...)

Cheers,
  Jas
