That's a good question. On the old htdig.org site hosted by Verio, before the move to SourceForge, we used CVS for everything including the files section. I'm not too sure of the exact reasons for moving away from CVS for files on SourceForge. (We still use CVS for the source trees and maindocs, though.) I know there are some strange quirks with CVS on SourceForge, so maybe it caused problems with the large binary files in the files section. I've also heard that CVS doesn't deal with binary files all that efficiently (it's hard to "diff" them) so maybe it was a concern over the amount of repository space we'd use up. Geoff would probably know better than me, as he's the one who coordinated the switch to SourceForge. -- Gilles R.
