I just want to point out that a maven repo manages versions as separate copies. e.g. Using our hypothetical project local repository, the paths to 2 versions would be something like: --myproject/src/lib/com/myapi/foo/1.0/foo-1.0.jar --myproject/src/lib/com/myapi/foo/2.0/foo-2.0.jar So yes, if you check it into version control, it increases the size of your project, but you aren't necessarily storing any binary diffs. -- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Brian Schlining bschlin...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
