"Finally, we discussed bringing one of Kiln’s major features—kbfiles—into Mercurial as an official feature. kbfiles enables you to track the history of large files (like images, libraries, and executables) in your Mercurial repository, without keeping a copy of every version of every file on your computer."

Looking forward to hearing more about this, and hopefully a similar feature makes its way into Git. Poor handling of large files is one of the main drawbacks to using DVCSs in many kinds of workflows.

We've basically got it completely working without Kiln at this point. Just grab the latest Kiln BFiles version at https://developers.kilnhg.com/Repo/Kiln/Group/Unstable , and you play around and let us know what you think.

Note that, while the Kilnless operation is in the "Unstable" repository, the general functionality has been shipping with Kiln for over a year now, and is rock-solid. We're also working hard right now on getting full TortoiseHg support, so that will hopefully land soon, too.
