store only the most recent revision(s) of a document in SVN
Hi,
We have some MS Word/Excel documents that we want them to be shared by
a few people. These few people should have read/modify access to the
documents but they should not step on each other's toes. So we need a
"lock-modify-unlock" tool for these documents but we really don't need to
store all the revisions of the documents (maybe only the last revision
or last three revisions need to be stored). Can I use Subversion to
acheive this goal? Is there a way in Subversion to specify that only the
last three revisions are stored and all previous revisions should be
deleted?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Betty

No, there is currently no way to have subversion do that, and adding
such functionality would be complex.
This should be feasible with plain WebDAV over HTTPS, which supports
file-locking. Look into it.
