'''track large binary files Large binary files tend to be not very compressible, not very "diffable", and not at all mergeable. Such files are not handled well by Mercurial\'s storage format (revlog), which is based on compressed binary deltas. largefiles solves this problem by adding a centralized client-server layer on top of Mercurial: largefiles live in a *central store* out on the network somewhere, and you only fetch the ones that you need when you need them. largefiles works by maintaining a *standin* in .hglf/ for each largefile. The standins are small (41 bytes: an SHA-1 hash plus newline) and are tracked by Mercurial. Largefile revisions are identified by the SHA-1 hash of their contents, which is written to the standin. largefiles uses that revision ID to get/put largefile revisions from/to the central store. A complete tutorial for using lfiles is included in ``usage.txt`` in the lfiles source distribution.
