I have written a Perl script (called `rmnbcache') that strips all cache
data from a Mathemetica notebook (i.e., ImageCache, ImageRangeCache,
CellTagsIndex, NotebookOutline, etc.). This reduces the file size and
prevents cvs from being confused by irrelevant differences in cache data.
Thus you can say something like this in your Makefile:
strip: $(NOTEBOOKS)
rmnbcache $(NOTEBOOKS)
We are using this Perl script for several years now in our group to commit
notebooks to our cvs repository.
Additionally we have a Perl script called `testnbcache' which is called by
cvs (using `commitinfo'). This script denies commiting of notebook files
which have not been stripped.
If someone is interested in these Perl scripts, please contact me. I will
then send you the files by email.
Best regards,
Tim
