This tool is intended to manage big files out of your VCS but in your workarea.
It's like mercurial largefile extension but independend of any VCS.
Instead of the big file itself only a list of filenames with their checksums (md5) are committed to the VCS. The BFM can check for missing or outdated bigfiles and downloads them from a server using CURL.
A local subversioning command line tool, written for those who find git troublesome and difficult to use for simple backups and snapshots of projects.
The name is derived form being a small tool than git (which is really muscular), but skinny provide you easy to learn four commands and only used for local source management, commit log init restore ..thats it four commands no big deal.
