[game_edu] Source Control in Education

[Jeremy Gibson]

I can tell you that subversion is (or was) particularly bad for large
files. They may have updated it since I used it last in 2008, but at the
time, svn only checked the first kilobyte and the size of a file to see if
it was different from a previous version. We were working in Flash at the
time, and frequently, svn would ignore changes in .fla files because the
size was similar and the first K was the same.
